This dazzling monograph restores the vital complexity of Kiefer's art: celebrating its interweaving of figural art abstraction, creation destruction, in a strong engagement for the public in the physical and conceptual space of his works. Famous for his works that investigate themes of memory, myth, war existence, Kiefer presents an itinerary through his historical works new productions, in an original dialogue with the architecture of the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence and broader Italian history.Each of Kiefer's paintings and sculptures expresses a monumentality and powerful materiality, part of the infinite wealth of resources with which he probes the depths of memory and the past. From the beginning of his career, he has embarked on an artistic journey in which history, religion, mysticism, poetry and philosophy combine and mingle. His late 1960s works were among the first to reflect on the history of World War II and Germany's emotional and cultural legacy. Yet in this consequential space, Kiefer's drastic compositions layered in gold and silver take on a new significance in the context of the theatrical and deeply religious paintings of the Italian Renaissance. German artist Anselm Kiefer (born 1945) developed his signature style of multimedia impasto painting through the influence of Neo-Expressionism and artists such as Joseph Beuys and Georg Baselitz. His art incorporates global religious traditions and occult teachings, while also reckoning with the legacy of the Third Reich.
