i dunno how unknown he really is but a lot of art students i know have never heard of him:

anselm kiefer

he channels a lot of post ww2 german guilt which makes for some pretty goddamn depressing stuff.

this one is a detail from a bigger one, which i love more than the actual whole piece.

im not sure what id call it. religious doesnt seem to be the right word. i admire the general weirdness and the obsessive attention to detail.

MOCA in L.A. has a great exhibit on Arshile Gorky right now. Obviously, Gorky is pretty well known and had a huge influence on the abstract expressionists, but there seems to be a heavy re-evaluation of his work at the moment.

Had no idea he'd grid out all of his compositions beforehand (and then create a veritable shit-ton of alternate versions); he actually sort of resisted the looser expressionism that he influenced. And the way he'd wear his influences on his sleeve and keep synthesizing and re-synthesizing those elements was pretty remarkable; they guy would keep reinventing himself (literally altering his own back story to fit the current work) in the most dubious ways, but everything, paradoxically, seems so deeply-felt. And of course, the guy was a mess and you can't help but see the personal narrative of genocide--> suicide spelled out in some of his stuff.

Diary of a Seducer, full-size and in person, was pretty devastating/disturbing, I thought:

Anyway, Gorky. Really well-known, but more interesting/enigmatic the more you look into him.

i don't usually share my experiences (i don't really feel like calling them works) but i might open exceptions in a near future.
