(source)A mixed media artist, painter, sculptor, installation artist - a mixed media artist who works with things like 700 lbs. of lead, making it into a book. A painter working with tar and emulsion, earth and concrete, and an eerie application of text. Anselm Kiefer.
Keeping with our October theme, macabre and gray. Have you heard the term "vernacular architecture"? Its a term referring to regional architecture of the home-grown sort. The row home picture windows full in complete decoration for every major, and all forgotten, holiday home to home, and street to street in South Philly - that is an example of vernacular architecture. The style specific to fishing huts built in the backwoods of Maine - things like that.
I can't help but think Kiefer's work looks German and that I would like to visit.
