Anselm Kiefer explores beauty and destruction in a new series of monumental works that originated from the artist’s walks through the Barjac landscape. ‘The grass, the entire vegetation was so dried out that the light yellow stalks and the withered thistles made for a whole variety of ochre and yellow shades – their beauty on the verge of decay’. The series’ creation is intimately connected to Kiefer’s preoccupation with the great medieval lyricist, Walther von der Vogelweide, referencing his famous poem ‘Under der linden’, which recounts a romantic meeting of two lovers of different social standing in the countryside.Tags: Anselm Kiefer, Malerei
