Anatol Herzfeld (often simply called Anatol), born Karl-Heinz Herzfeld, January 21, 1931 in Tschernjachowsk, East Prussia, is a German sculptor and mixed media artist. He primarily uses wood, iron or stone as his artistic material. He lives and works on the Museumsinsel Hombroich.
A student of Joseph Beuys at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he studied fine arts from 1964 to 1972, Anatol was deeply influenced by the ideas of his professor, especially by his concept of "social sculpture". Therefore, telling stories, talking about current political themes, and working with his own hands became the basis of his artistic work.
