Anslem Kiefer has always been an artist that has persuaded my interests. The ambiguity of his painting/sculpting materials is what truly inspires me. As far as landscapes are concerned, pertain to German historical themes, I am sure that there are a few that you can imagine. These are two of his works, Resurrexit and from the Heaven and Earth Series. Kiefer began his artistic career as a photographer and shot films such as one that was mimicked the nazi salute. This film was meant to remind Germans that their culture was being destroyed by the third reich. This imagery exists throughout his lifetime of work.
Another artists that particularly interests me is Carl Andre. Andre is a minimalist sculptor and poet and these two pieces reflect both of those fields. The text is used in a way mimicking that of a technical topographical map.
