Grenzen des Verstandes is a panel painting created in 1927 by Paul Klee (1879-1940) and exhibited at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.

Flechtheim marketed it skilfully. After exhibiting it twice in his Berlin gallery in 1928 and 1929, he loaned it to the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1931. In 1958, it became the property of Theodor and Woty Werner. In 1971, it was acquired as a bequest from the couple and has since been in the collections of the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen - Sammlung Moderne Kunst at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. It shows a complex, fine network of lines rising towards a rounded circle. The painting expresses an opposition between finite existence and man's overflowing imagination.

In 2006/07, the Austrian composer Andor Losonczy (1932-2018) created a piece of the same name as part of an extensive project on Klee, which was premiered on 11 March 2008 by Leipzig's Sortisatio ensemble as part of the musica aperta concert [...]
