Klee did not show animals the same level of interest as he did plants, although he enjoyed observing them and believed he could see a reflection of human behavior in their behavior. However, he pursued one species with enduring fascination, making it the subject of several major compositions: fish. As early as his study trip to Italy in 1901/02, he visited the famous Zoological Station in Naples, and later the aquarium of the Zoological Garden was a regular stop on his visits to Berlin. During his time at the Bauhaus, he had his own aquarium, which prompted philosophical reflections and provided visual material for his fish paintings and underwater scenes. Klee was also interested in fish as an angler. Especially in his younger years, he was an enthusiastic fisherman, but later, due to his growing love of animals, he curbed his passion for hunting. "Good Fishing Spot" is anything but a realistic depiction. Rather, Klee translates his view of the water into evenly horizontal layers of color. Embedded within this are numerous motifs drawn from the angler's experience. Diverse water structures, fish, air bubbles – all clustered around an enigmatic navigational marker with a brickwork and fishing spot. It also remains unclear for whom the "fishing spot" is a "good" one: for the fish – or perhaps for the angler?
