Watch "Behind the scenes"
The great majority of Kiefer's works since his emergence in the late 1960s through the 1990s refer to subjects drawn from Germany and its culture: German history, myth, literature, art history, music, philosophy, topography, architecture, and folk customs, even going so far as to exploit clichés or commonplace icons.
Large scale paintings/abstract images push the boundaries of perception and overpower us with size and symbolism.
Many of his pieces dominate the peripheral vision.
Very suggestive of a theme or message
