Summary:In this first volume of Notebooks, Kiefer returns constantly to his touchstones: sixteenth-century alchemist Robert Fludd, German romantic poet Novalis, Martin Heidegger, Ingeborg Bachmann, Robert Musil, among others. The entries reveal the process by which his artworks are informed by his reading - and vice versa - and track the development of the works he created in the late 1990s. Translated into English for the first time by Tess Lewis, they reveal Kiefer's strong affinity for language and let readers witness the process of thoughts, experiences and adventures slowly transcending the limits of art, achieving meaning in and beyond their medium.
