Through such diverse mediums as painting, photography, artist's books, installations, and sculpture, he has interpreted the great political and cultural issues at the heart of the modern European sensibility: the connections among memory, history, and mythology; war; the Holocaust; and ethnic and national identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this extensively illustrated volume, available again in a new, compact format, Arasse analyses Kiefer's education, influences, philosophy, and art, while demonstrating the unity and continuity of his work. Arasse takes as his starting point the 1980 Venice Biennale, a key moment in the artist's career that marked the birth of both his international reputation and the controversy over the 'Germanness' of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOrganized both chronologically and according to the artist's recurrent motifs, the book's approximately 250 full-colour images trace Kiefer's creative evolution and present his great themes in their full scope and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595685019884,"sku":"9780500291610","price":68.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780500291610-anselm-kiefer.jpg?v=1777901766","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/anselm-kiefer-by-daniel-arasse-9780500291610","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
