Anselm Kiefer is a master at turning devastation into tangible beauty. He grew up in Germany amidst the carnage and death of World War II.
His layered impasto paintings are inspired by the frightful events he witnessed. He says we can’t look at nature without remembering and recognizing that horror exists in the world. But there is a light that shines out of the darkness.
Aurora brings light after darkness and that dawn is victorious over gloom.
