Contemporary Art – Anselm Kiefer

Anselm Kiefer is a post World War II German painter and sculptor. His works incorporate materials such as straw, ash, clay and lead.

Kiefer is considered part of the Neo-Expressionist movement, which diverged from Minimalism and abstraction to develop new representational and symbolic languages. In the early 1980s, he created more than thirty paintings and painted photographs. His works make the observer to bypass one’s own problems and think about his.
