Anselm Kiefer Artist Quotations

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.

History speaks to artists. It changes the artist's thinking and is constantly reshaping it into different and unexpected images.

Not content, but the road the artist takes, is the interesting part.

When I see a new artist I give myself a lot of time to reflect and decide whether it's art or not.

I am of the opinion that there are artists and non-artists. I think that this is the way it always was and always will be. I do not believe that we are in the center of the world. It is possible that there are gods who do not relate to human. As an artist, I believe that it is possible to depict these forces.
