Aside from the spirit of his work, Klarwein was an incredible technician (if I can use that word), and I lose myself in his details. The Inscapes book belonged to my brother, and I visited his book so often that he eventually gave it to me. True love!Mark D.

A few that he admired and studied are mentioned in Inscapes, and these are Redon, Moreau, Bocklin, Hodler, Rousseau, Ernest Fuchs, De Chirico, Chagall and Tchelitchew.Mark D.
