Für Chlebnikow
| This work is one of several that Kiefer dedicated to the Russian Cubo-Futurist poet Velimir Khlebnikov (1885-1922), a utopian and a pacifist. Kiefer was attracted to the poet's invention of "a huge system, with numbers, about history and battles and wars. It was complete nonsense, like Dada," the great anti-art movement of the early twentieth century. |
