Anselm Kiefer (born March 8, 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. 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 spiritual concepts of Kabbalah. In his entire body of work, Kiefer argues with the past and addresses taboo and controversial issues from recent history. Themes from Nazi rule are particularly reflected in his work; for instance, the painting "Margarethe" (oil and straw on canvas) was inspired by Paul Celan's well-known poem "''Todesfuge''" ("''Death Fugue''"). His works are characterised by an unflinching willingness to confront his culture's dark past, and unrealized potential, in works that are often done on a large, confrontational scale well suited to the subjects. It is also characteristic of his work to find signatures and/or names of people of historical importance, legendary figures or places particularly pregnant with history. All of these are encoded sigils through which Kiefer seeks to process the past; this has resulted in his work being linked with a style called ''New Symbolism.'' Kiefer has lived and worked in France since 1991. Since 2008, he has lived and worked primarily in Paris〔(Anselm Kiefer ) White Cube.〕 and in Alcácer do Sal, Portugal.〔(Artista alemão Anselm Kiefer fixa-se em Portugal ) ''Público'', August 27, 2009.〕 ==Early life and career== The son of an art teacher,〔Mark Hudson (September 27, 2014), (Anselm Kiefer on life, legacy and Barjac: 'I have no style, I'm not a brand' ) ''The Guardian''.〕 Kiefer was born in Donaueschingen, Germany, on March 8, 1945, just a few months before the end of World War II. In 1951, he moved to Ottersdorf and attended grammar school in Rastatt. In 1966, he abandoned his Law and Romance language studies at University of Freiburg to study at Art academies in Freiburg, Karlsruhe, and Düsseldorf. In Karlsruhe, he studied under Peter Dreher, an important realist and figurative painter.〔(Anselm Kiefer ) Guggenheim Collection.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anselm Kiefer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
