Artists have a variety of methods to make their mark. Every Friday we will share a photograph of an #ArtistInAction. Memory and time are the two key themes in Anselm Kiefer’s work. By layering materials such as stones, rusty metals, lead, and plants, the German artist makes work through a process of constant construction and demolition. His use of organic materials mixed with pigments results in an intense sense of physicality. Touching upon Germany’s history and myths, Kiefer uses his large-scale works function as a means to project himself into geological time and to cope with the country’s past. #ArtistInAction #AnselmKiefer Photo: Charles Duprat 2014
