Anselm Kiefer

“What does the artist do? He draws connections. He ties the invisible threads between things. He dives into history, be it the history of mankind, the geological history of the Earth or the beginning and end of the manifest cosmos.”

“I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art.”

“Because of my Calvinistic upbringing, I was trained to think that what you do has to have a purpose.”
