Anselm Kiefer - Dominique Baque
a monograph
KORTE INHOUD
The work of Anselm Kiefer begins with a crucial question. How, after the
Holocaust, can one be an artist within the German tradition? Born at the end
of the Second World War, Kiefer's career represents a quasi-existential quest to
redefine Germanness. This new monograph examines the foundation of Kiefer's
work: memory and our response to it.
Kiefer's work is informed by great literary works, myths, tales and legends,
and particularly the world of Kabbalistic mysticism. This book explores his
passion for alchemy, his admiration for great female figures obscured by
history, and his relationship with the landscape and nature, a notable topic of
his most recent works.
