Paul Klee is the name of a celebrated Swiss-German painter, known for his highly original, whimsical, and abstract works. The two-part proper noun combines a common given name with a German surname, and is typically spoken with emphasis on the surname. The pronunciation is straightforward in most contexts, but the surname contains a non-English initial K-sound sequence and a German diphthong that can be tricky for non-native speakers.
