Anselm Kiefer Thinking Quotations

Because of my Calvinistic upbringing, I was trained to think that what you do has to have a purpose.

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.

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