German · b. 1921
Sculpture and Performance Art
DESCRIPTION
Joseph Beuys was a highly influential German artist and theorist who redefined 20th-century art through his concept of 'social sculpture.' He is famous for his use of symbolic materials like fat and felt and for his provocative 'actions' or performance pieces. His work often explored themes of humanism, sociology, and mythology, also reflecting his experiences during World War II.
