Visual Text

Paper Summary:

This paper introduces and analyzes the visual text "Arts: Anselm Kiefer Retrospective at SF MOMA" by Peter Selz and discusses the text, which according to the author of this paper is interesting because it illustrates the many different parts of art, along with a writer's impression of the work. The article & the painting itself is also reproduced within the paper.

From the Paper:

"Kiefer's work is highly visual and textual at the same time. It is dark, often sinister, and unsettling, and it is sometimes difficult to look at. Keifer's elements include realistic pictures of people and landscapes, but there is always something frightening or different about them. The writer includes an image of Kiefer's work, but also includes several descriptions of works that help the reader "see" them, which shows that visual texts can bring works to life, almost as if you viewed them on their own. A different genre might have made the works even more alive, such as a video of the works, but the text is still valid in its own right."
