Anselm Kiefer, what an artist. Responsible for the most incredibley weighty and gut-wrenching atmospheric pieces such as this truly phenomenol 'Lot's Wife'(1989). The paint looks like it's been scraped on with a spade, it manages to be a work of the most extraordinary natural beauty, like its carved out for rock and has been around for centuries, even the train tracks, the ultimate symobl of modernisation and man's impact on the landcape becomes part of the rock. But the point is, god this is moody, and i bloody love it.
