The artwork, titled “Parsifal I,” was created by Anselm Kiefer in 1973. This piece is associated with the Expressionism art movement and falls within the figurative genre.
The artwork portrays an interior space dominated by wooden textures, suggestive of a rustic, perhaps abandoned setting. At the center of the composition stands a white cradle, stark against the rich, dark hues of the wooden beams and floorboards, capturing a sense of stillness and solitude. Light filters through a small window in the background, casting an ethereal glow onto the floor, adding a sense of depth and mystery to the scene. The detailed wood grain and the interplay of light and shadow contribute to an evocative and almost haunting atmosphere, in keeping with the emotional intensity characteristic of Expressionism.
