Der mann in der Frau (The man in the woman) is a work by the German artist Konrad Klapheck (Düsseldorf, Germany, 1935). Klapheck went on to produce more than 40 versions of the typewriter, in addition to numerous representations of objects such as sewing machines, faucets, showers, telephones, irons, and bicycles. His depictions of machinery and everyday objects combine meticulous precision with cartoonish colour palettes and are infused with wit, political commentary, and sexual innuendo. Realism is combined with irony and humour, reflecting the influence of Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, and Max Ernst, while Klapheck’s interest in everyday objects prefigures the emergence of Pop Art.
