Anselm Kiefer

🔳🗿Anselm Kiefer (born 8 March 1945) is a German painter and sculptor.

He studied with Joseph Beuys and Peter Dreher during the 1970s.

His works incorporate materials such as straw, ash, clay, lead, and shellac.

Revealing the influence of his tutelage under Joseph Beuys, Kiefer's epic-scaled, dense sculptures and paintings are often exposed to elements like acid and fire, and incorporate materials such as lead, burned books, concrete, thorny branches, ashes, and clothing; famed critic and historian Simon Schama has described his work as “heavy-load maximalism.”
