76. Anselm Keifer artist, had to share

Détail, Symboles Héroïques, 1969, Anselm Kiefer

Anselm Kiefer was born in Donaueschingen, Germany, in March 1945. He lives and works in France. In 1969, he photographed himself giving the Nazi salute in France, Switzerland and Italy to protest the silence on this issue in the post-war years. He represented Germany at the 1980 Venice Biennale, alongside George Baselitz. His works are vibrant, his tones are muted, he uses various materials (straw, wood, plants …), his forms are disproportionate, forcing the viewer to enter completely into the painting or sculpture.
