This book provides a survey of Beuyss oeuvre, which he viewed as part of a larger, philosophically based practice emphasising direct democracy, free access to education and the restructuring of society to meet ecological requirements. A total of 152 works from Beuyss many fields of activity  drawings and watercolours, prints and multiples, sculpture and objects, spaces and actions  are arranged in chronological order, demonstrating the artists formal versatility, creative richness and conceptual depth. The peculiar poetry of the materials Beuys used  felt, grease, honey, wax, copper and sulfur  emerges along with the gentle melancholy suffusing the work of this sensitive agent provocateur. Alain Borer analyses Beuyss motivation with special reference to the artists written and spoken statements. The book is an informed introduction to the artistic work and conceptual world of Joseph Beuys, for anyone interested in art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e 12.4 x 9.8 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42417917853739,"sku":"9780500092675","price":599.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/3033\/6299\/files\/51ZsGvWCUhL.jpg?v=1761044859","url":"https:\/\/bokeriet.live\/products\/the-essential-joseph-beuys","provider":"Bokeriet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
