I want to express my thanks to Andrew Lewis, who checked the paper for the linguistic correctness, and to Domenico Loda, who helped me with HTML.

The paper is based on a talk given at the Venice yearly conference "Matematica e Cultura", organised by Prof. Michele Emmer.

[8] W. D’Arcy Thompson, On Growth and Form (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press: 1942). D’Arcy Thompson devoted the whole third chapter of his masterwork to the subject. Notice that the first edition of the book was issued in 1917, whereas in 1920 Klee started his pedagogical activity at Bauhaus, which led him to make theoretically explicit his assumptions, in his pedagogical writings. I have already highlight several contact points between D’Arcy Thompson and Klee in a paper cited in [10]. However, as far as I know, there are no evidences that Klee knew D’Arcy Thompson’s work and vice versa.
