Anselm Kiefer is a renowned German painter and sculptor recognized for his innovative use of materials such as straw, ash, clay, lead, and shellac. Influenced by the poetry of Paul Celan and the spiritual ideas of Kabbalah, Kiefer’s art explores themes of German history, the Holocaust, and the Nazi era. His work often tackles sensitive topics from recent history, frequently on a grand scale, incorporating the names and signatures of historical figures to confront the past. Associated with New Symbolism and Neo-Expressionism movements, Kiefer currently resides and creates in Paris, France.
