Palette 1981

"Palette" (1981) by Anselm Kiefer is a striking example of the artist's signature style, characterized by its raw, expressive brushstrokes and heavy impasto. The artwork is dominated by a dark, somber palette with accents of gold, suggesting a sense of history and memory. The bold, black line that bisects the canvas evokes a sense of division or conflict, while the faint outline of a circle in the center hints at a hidden or forgotten presence. Kiefer's works often engage with themes of history, mythology, and the human condition, making "Palette" a poignant and evocative exploration of the complexities of the past.
