Anselm Kiefer
Anselm Kiefer (born March 8, 1945, Donaueschingen)
is a German artist. He studied with Joseph Beuys during the 1970s.
His works incorporate materials like straw, ash, clay, steel, and
shellac. The poems of Paul Celan have played a role in developing
Kiefer's themes of German history and the horror of the Holocaust,
as have the theological concepts of Kabbalah.
