art gallery visit #2

Anselm Kiefer: Beyond Landscape

The theme of this exhibit is nature. The landscape and flowers within the different pieces of this exhibition is the biggest theme, in my opinion.

This exhibition had other works around it that were very similar in theme. Landscape works of art were surrounded by Kiefer's work. The walls within the museum were overall, very colorful due to the nature of the works of art surrounding this exhibition. I think the exhibition definitely considered the viewers opinion while viewing these works of art. As far as movement goes, my eyes were very drawn to all the works of art and I just kept wanting to go from one to the next.

These different paintings and works on papers all worked well together in that they were all focused on the theme of landscape. There were many artists works put on display during this exhibit. One of my favorites was by Van Gogh, because his works of art always stand out to me. The artworks were all well labeled and there was no question whose work of art belong to who.

Works of art:

Der Morgenthau Plan: Anselm Kiefer
photograph on canvas
110 1/4 × 149 5/8”- size
If I were to be inside this work of art, I would imagine for it to have been windy, dark, colder day. 
I think this work of art was paired well with the others work of art due to the landscape theme

Die Milchstrasse: Anselm Kiefer
Emulsion paint, oil, acrylic, and shellac on canvas with applied wires and lead
150 x 222 inches- size
There was such a great element of light in this picture in comparison to some of the others on display. I think the artist was trying to say that he does not only have a dark side, and there is some light in him if you look further
