  "description": "Nordic and Germanic mythologies, Jewish mysticism, the cosmos, the legends of the ancient world, links between heaven and earth, men and the gods, transmutation, the role of the human body: all of these lie at the heart of Anselm Kiefer? s thought. This, the first major monograph on Kiefer, uses thematic and chronological approaches to explore the many facets of his work. Daniel Arasse takes as a starting point the 1980 Venice Biennale, a key moment in the artist? s career as it marked the birth of both his international reputation and the controversy over the ? Germanness? of his work. The author delves into the central themes of Kiefer? s art and their evolution. Interspersed with the main discussion are sub-chapters that shed new light on the fabric and subject of Kiefer? s art by examining his favourite motifs and the ways that they have mutated. By examining his influences, style and recurring motifs, Daniel Arasse highlights Kiefer? s rich culture and his philosophical and artistic practice,while demonstrating the unity and continuity in his work.",
