Urs Amann is a surrealist Swiss painter. He is mostly known as the author of Klaus Schulze records' cover art, in a style that reminds of some works from Salvador Dali. He also illustrated the covers of many books, including some of his brother[1] Jürg Amann, who is a Swiss writer. Urs Amann likes to qualify his work as « meta-realistic painting ».
