Anselm Kiefer, known for abstract paintings of charred-seeming, symbolical landscapes referencing Germany's history, was born in 1945 in Donaueschingen (Baden-Württemberg), Germany. When he was six years old, he moved with his family to Otterdorf where he attended grammar school. In 1965, he began the study of law and Romance languages at the Albert Ludwigs University, in Freiburg in Breisgau and also spent time in Paris.

From 1966 to 1970, he studied art with Peter Dreher and Horst Antes at the Staatliche Hochschule der Bildenden Künste, Freiburg and Karlsruhe, and from
1970 - 1972 studied with Joseph Beuys at the Dusseldorf Academy. From 1991 - 1993, he travelled to India, Mexico and China and the U.S.A., and then settled in Barjac, France where he established a studio.
