Summary/Abstract: Nature serves as a source of artistic inspiration that recurs throughout various periods of art history. This theme helps foster a dialogue that highlights the visual, temporal, and conceptual relationships between the works of Vincent van Goghand Anselm Kiefer. Recurring elements, such as the field, the sky, light, and matter, become identifiable visual landmarks inthe creations of the two artists, with nature serving to provide inspiration and to constitute a space for self-contemplation. InVincent van Gogh’s paintings, these elements represent expressions of a dynamic inner world; in Anselm Kiefer’s works, theytransform into materialized forms, imbued with meaning, memory, and temporality.
