Urs Amann
Urs Amann (25 May 1951 – 7 May 2019)[1][2] was a Swiss surrealist painter. He is mostly known as the painter of the cover art for several Klaus Schulze records, all in a style reminiscent of Salvador Dalí. He also illustrated the covers of many books, including some by his brother, Jürg Amann.[3] Urs Amann liked to qualify his work as "meta-realistic painting".
