Chris Andrews: OMG!

There is a great German painter (born in 1945 while his mom was in the basement during a bombing that collapsed the family home), namely, Anselm Kiefer.

Anselm Kiefer despised the great philosopher, Martin Heidegger, for his accommodation (and more!) with Nazism.

Anselm Kiefer painted a whole series of pages, in which Kiefer comically displays the evolution of the great Philosopher's BRAIN, until on the final pages worms prevailed and ultimately the page was BLACK and blank.

Anselm Kiefer is an artist who at 80 is quite vigorous and athletic in his way of painting.
