Mati Klarwein - Germany

Art Brokerage: Mati Klarwein German Artist: b. 1932-2002. Abdul Mati Klarwein (April 9, 1932 – March 7, 2002) was a German painter best known for his works used on the covers of music albums. Klarwein added "Abdul" (which means "servant" in Arabic) to his name in the late 1950s to express his sentiments about the hostility between Jews and Muslims in the Middle East: he felt that to understand each other better, every Jew should adopt a Muslim first name, and vice versa. In 1956 he met Kitty Lillaz, and traveled with her around-the-world, including Tibet, India, Bali, North Africa, Turkey, Europe and the Americas. In the early 1960s he settled for a while in New York City, meeting Jimi Hendrix. At a New York exhibition in 1961, organized by Lillaz for the unveiling of the painting Flight to Egypt. Klarwein met Salvador Dali for the first time, whom he called a spiritual father. The same year he met his wife Sofia Klarwein. Among other painters he During his time in Saint-Tropez he met Ernst Fuchs, who would have a profound influence on his technique, teaching him the Mischtechnik. Much of Klarwein's most famous work is inspired by surrealism and pop culture, but also reflects his interest in deities and symbolism. Klarwein is still best known for his art of the 1960s and 1970s, with its clear links to surrealism, popular psychedelic imagery, ethnic and exotic themes, erotic, and religious art from a number of different traditions. He also worked more conventionally across a variety of genres including still life, landscape, and portrait.met more often was Arik Brauer. In 1965, he obtained the French nationality, with the support of André Malraux. The art and culture magazine Juxtapoz, quoting an unnamed source, wrote that Klarwein was "often considered 'the man literally responsible for every great, legendary record cover you've ever seen—if he didn't do it, he inspired it.'"Despite the hyperbole of this claim, it is true that many people would immediately recognize his vivid, colorful style from album covers for Miles Davis's Bitches Brew and Santana's Abraxas (both released in 1970).
