Life
Fritz W. Kliem attended the municipal arts and crafts school in Berlin from 1921 to 1923 . He then graduated from the Reimann School in Berlin , including drawing, painting and teaching composition with Moriz Melzer and Adolf Plünnecke. From 1933 to 1937 Kliem was a freelance press photographer for Berlin and foreign publishers. Between 1939 and 1945 he was conscripted in the industry.
From 1945 he began his freelance work as a painter and graphic artist. Since 1953 he was a member of the artist association Reinickendorf, since 1963 registered in the professional association of visual artists. He went on study trips to Austria, to the port cities of the Baltic Sea coast, to southern Germany, Paris and Italy (South Tyrol, Venice, Elba) and Spain. He had exhibitions with Cuno Fischer , August Wilhelm Dressler , Paul Wilhelm , Hannah Höch and others. Works by Fritz W. Kliem can be found in the collection of the Mitte Museum in Berlin. Fritz Kliem's works mostly have a cubist formal language that is never entirely separate from the object. In the Berliner Morgenpost in 1971 one could read:
"The painter and graphic artist Fritz Kliem is the personification of the reserved, but strongly emotional East German people."
