My friend Sean and I are currently poring over his work. He went to an art exhibit and brought me back pictures:



But I am a much bigger fan of his sculptures:


I don't know if anyone here has ever heard of him or not, but he's worth looking into.
Post your favorite Anselm Kiefer art!

she's an open book

Oh GOD how I love Anselm Kiefer-I based quite a lot of my art project last year around his techniques. I love his landscapes and photography-it's all so bleak and dark, but not in an indulgent way-they are just plain and subtle, but massive and monolithic at the same time. Fantastic. I always partner his work with Auerbach's, in my head. Brilliant uses of texture.

Oh I'm so glad you agree. The first picture, I'm not sure what it's called, I love the way he uses perspective and the bland hues. It makes you question what the picture is actually supposed to represent (i.e - a map or an empty field).
Post pictures!!
And I haven't seen anything by Auerbach but I will definitely check him out, thanks.

looks grand, im going to look into this guy

great pictures
