By examining his influences, style and recurring motifs, Daniel Arasse highlights Kiefer's rich culture and his philosophical and artistic practice, while demonstrating the unity and continuity in his work that transcends any linear concept of time. Arasse takes as his starting point the 1980 Venice Biennale, a key moment in the artist's career, as it marked the birth of both his international reputation and the controversy over the "Germanness" of his work. Through the six main chapters, the author delves into the central themes of Kiefer's paintings and their evolution. Nordic and Germanic mythologies, Jewish mysticism, the cosmos, the legends of the ancient world, links between heaven and earth, men and the gods, transmutation, the role of the human body - all of these lie at the heart of Kiefer's thought. Interspersed with the main discussion are five sub-chapters that shed a new light on the fabric and subject of Kiefer's art by examining his favourite motifs and the ways that they have mutated through time and thematic shifts.Hide synopsis

Description:Good. Internationale Aufmerksamkeit und nationalen Schock löste...Good. Internationale Aufmerksamkeit und nationalen Schock löste Anselm Kiefer 1980 auf der Biennale von Venedig aus. Heute gehört das Werk des 1945 in Donaueschingen geborenen, seit 1993 auch in Frankreich lebenden Künstlers zu den beeindruckendsten Hervorbringungen der zeitgenössischen Kunst. Kiefers zentrales Thema ist die Erinnerung und ihre Ablagerungen im kollektiven Gedächtnis. In seinen frühen Werken setzte er sich vor allem mit der Frage auseinander, wie man überhaupt noch ein"deutscher Künstler"sein könnte nach dem Holocaust und der Vereinnahmung der nationalen kulturellen und künstlerischen Tradition durch die NS-Ideologie. Kiefer "trauerte" um diese verstellte Tradition-in großformatigen Gemälden mit Titeln wie Deutsche Geisteshelden oder Hermannsschlacht. Anfang der 80er Jahre erweiterte sich sein thematisches GewebeDer Verlust von Sinn, die Unmöglichkeit, Zugang zu ihm zu finden, wird ein Hauptthema. Und schließlich sind es die Mythen vieler Kulturen-der jüdisch-christlichen, ägyptischen, orientalischen ebenso wie der germanischen und nordischen-, die Kiefer anziehen und die er in den unterschiedlichsten Bildmedien und Techniken verarbeitetPhotographie, Gouache, Aquarell, Gemälde, Skulptur, die Installation und das Buch. 2001 legte der französische Kunsthistoriker Daniel Arasse (1944 bis 2003) diese erste große Monographie vor, die das Gesamtwerk von Anselm Kiefer seit den 60er Jahren behandelt. Seine detaillierte, reich bebilderte Studie ist inzwischen zum Standardwerk geworden. AutorDaniel Arasse ist Directeur d'etudes an der Pariser Ecole des Hautes etudes en sciences sociales.
