Bowie and Berlin: A fascinating insight into the artist time!
The renowned comic artist Reinhard Kleist has created an artistic homage to David Bowies Berliner Epoch with his new work "Low". This time, which was characterized by personal and creative change for Bowie, is impressively presented in the comic. Kleist, who has admired Bowie since childhood, has the reader immersed in the 1970s when Bowie moved to Berlin to distance himself from his drug problems and the stress of the music business. As Kleist explained to RBB24, Bowie saw Berlin as his “clinic” in which he came to strive for a normal life and free himself from his excessive cocaine abuse. Kleist not only illuminates Bowies in his comic, but also the characters like Iggy Pop and Romy Haag, which were significant during this time.
The Berlin trilogy
During his Berlin years, Bowie, together with Brian Eno and Tony Visconti, produced three iconic albums who are known as the "Berlin's Trilogy": "Low", "Heroes" and "Lodger". These albums not only had a deep influence on the music scene of the 1970s and beyond, they also reflect Bowie's struggle with its inner demons. As wikipedia , this work experimented with electronic and ambience sounds and broke with conventional song structures. The movement from Los Angeles to Berlin was all about an intensive creative process that was strongly influenced by the German Krautrock.Especially the singles "Sound and Vision" and "Heroes" have achieved both critical and commercial success and are still considered milestones in rock history. These innovative sounds, which are full of experimentation and emotional depth, have inspired Joy Division artists to the present day. Kleist meticulously concentrated on these experiences when drawing the comic and thereby beat a bridge between Bowie's music and his visual heritage. This comic could not only appeal to Bowie fans, but also introduce newcomers to the world of this music genius.
