artist spotlight: mati klarwein
New York Angel – 1965.
If you’re a fan of Miles Davis’ 1970s electronic music, you’ve run into the art of Mati Klarwein, whose art graces the cover of two of Miles’ albums. Now deceased, Klarwein’s family has created a web site dedicated to his art.
It’s a delight for any one with a taste in visionary art. Perhaps the best summary of Klarwein’s art is that it’s joyous, a bit surreal, and universal. The colors are bright and his subjects diverse. Like the best sci fi novel covers, everything’s a little familiar, but very strange; you’re at the cusp of what you know and what you might know.
