Joseph Beuys, widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the postwar period, left an indelible mark on the art world with his multifaceted and thought-provoking body of work. At the heart of Beuys’ artistic endeavors were profound concepts rooted in social philosophy, humanism, and anthroposophy, which he seamlessly wove into various mediums and art forms. Joseph Beuys was a true artistic polymath, leaving no stone unturned in his quest to challenge conventional boundaries. His artistic repertoire spanned across Fluxus, happenings, performances, sculptures, installations, drawings, and prints. Yet, his creativity extended beyond the traditional confines of the art world. Beuys was equally known for his lectures, activism, and even his campaign for elected office. This wide-ranging engagement reflected his commitment to an “expanded concept of art,” one that transcended the conventional limitations of artistic practice. Central to Joseph Beuys‘ ideology was the belief that art need not be confined to a specialized profession. Instead, he proposed that art should be a heightened humanitarian attitude, a way of life that permeated every facet of daily existence. His visionary approach paved the way for a new era in which art intersected with political activism and social commentary, blurring the lines between art and life itself. Among Beuys’ most iconic artworks are those that incorporate animal fat and felt, seemingly humble and commonplace materials. These elements became recurring motifs in his art, serving as symbols of the interconnectedness between art, everyday materials, and the quotidian aspects of life. Through his choice of materials, Joseph Beuys challenged traditional perceptions of art, asserting that art was not a distant or elitist pursuit but a fundamental part of human existence.
