While still a student at Düsseldorf Art Academy, where he studied under Bruno Goller, Klapheck turned to different subject matter Typewriter, the first of his machine pictures, appeared in 1955.
His early drawings, such as Landscape with Ruins(1950) reflect the destroyed cities and buildings that surrounded the artist in his youth. His depictions of machinery and everyday objects blend painstaking accuracy with cartoonish colour palates and are infused with wit, political commentary and sexual innuendo.īorn in Düsseldorf in 1935, Klapheck grew up during World War II and its aftermath. “My main weapons are precision and humour,” says German artist, Konrad Klapheck.
