The paintings of Klaus Hartmann are picturesque constructions that originate from the artist's detailed observations. Frequently, he integrates thematic breaks into his pictures that may be interpreted as reflections on society. Early painting themes are garden plots, fairs, Ferris wheels and roller coasters, billboards, rails, pedestrian bridges, different formations of bushes and Chinese restaurants, among others. [2] [3] [5]
Klaus Hartmann travelled to East Africa several times. Between 2006 and 2015, he painted a series of Tanzania paintings that consist predominantly of landscapes. [4] The series of drawings "Along the New Road" has been created since 2016. The series is a collection of typical buildings found in rural areas of Tanzania, Rwanda and Zambia. The viewer slips into the role of a driver who glimpses houses, huts and kiosks as they drive past. The landscape is fictional. [6]
Paintings by Klaus Hartmann are included in many private and museum collections including the Bundeskunstsammlung (The Federal Collection of Contemporary Art), Kunstmuseum Dieselkraftwerk Cottbus (Art Museum Cottbus), Kunstmuseum Bremerhaven (Art Museum Bremerhaven) and The Falckenberg Collection in Hamburg.
