Life

Karl-Heinrich Kluge was born in Gelsenkirchen in 1915. At the age of 20 he trained himself to become a painter. After staying in Munich in 1935/36 to study the “old masters”, he went on a trip to Iceland in 1939 with horse and tent and spent an impressive summer there. What he experienced there shaped him all the rest of his life and was reflected in many of his works.

In 1947 Zingst became the painter's adopted home. In 1955, with a group of local nature lovers and the local group Zingst of the German Cultural Association, he demanded the establishment of a "German National Park on the Baltic Sea coast". However, the initiative did not find any high level response.

Since 1955, K.-H. Clever freelance painter and exhibited regularly.
