Ever since winning a grant as an eighteen-year-old to travel in Van Gogh’s footsteps from the Netherlands through Belgium and Paris to Arles, the contemporary artist Anselm Kiefer has been inspired by the Dutchman’s art. Van Gogh has been a profound influence upon the subjects and techniques of Kiefer’s monumental paintings and sculptures, which draw on history, mythology, literature, philosophy and science.
Published to coincide with Kiefer’s eightieth birthday in 2025, this book celebrates the power and luminous intensity of both artists’ work. The English historian and broadcaster Simon Schama considers their unparalleled importance to cultural history, while Kiefer reflects on his relationship with Van Gogh.
