		Joseph Beuys was born in 1921 in Krefeld, a city in northwestern Germany near the Dutch border.

		Beuys was dismissed in 1972 from his teaching position over his insistence that admission to the art school be open to anyone who wished to study there.

	Athena - Aesthetic Experience in the Art of Joseph Beuys
		The Aesthetic Experience in Beuys work cannot be excluded from the environment and/or present social systems, in Hubers' publication as the artwork functions as a trigger for the shaping of thoughts about contemporary life/society, a stated aesthetic strategy of Beuys.
		Beuys continues It is the principle of resurrection, transforming the old structure.....That is the expanded concept of art (Mennekes/Beuys p 33) Like the Theory of sculpture, such an action is based on the tension and movement between the poles of chaos and form, warm and cold, the representation of birth as material incarnation.
		Beuys early childhood in Cleves a Celtic and Catholic enclave in a Germanic and Protestant country was also extraordinarily rich in geological and cultural history.

		Joseph Beuys: Transformer is a revealing look at the inner workings of an extraordinary mind and a clarification of this extremely influential artist's mystifying work.

		Joseph Beuys: Transformer was produced by I.T.A.P. Pictures and directed by John Halpern, with music by Michael Galaso and video design by Les Levine.

	Arts Unlimited \| Arts features \| Wounds of history
		Beuys did not think Germans should evade their past, or be destroyed by it.
		Because Beuys is a German artist, it is impossible not to see the wounds of history everywhere, with a surpassing melancholy that dwarfs his attempts to commit his sculpture to an optimistic democratic politics.
		We can mine Beuys for the meanings we need because there is such a generous excess of content in his arrangements of fallen stones or sheets of molten iron.

	Joseph Beuys
		Beuys answered a need of the population, waking up from the shock of its economic social and cultural lethargy following the war, and showed a way to rise from the ashes that was as fun as it was holistic and spiritually challenging.
		Beuys certainly inherits Dada's rage at the powers that be and he responds with Dada's audacity at not remaining subservient to the restrictions that system would oppress expression with.
		The polished surface, the slick facade, the object of veneration is a death to Beuys.

	Just do it
		For Beuys, life was art: both in his exhortations to others to incorporate creativity into their daily lives, and in his relentless use of his own life, both quotidian and embroidered if not wholly invented, in his work.
		And it's precisly this exhortation from Joseph Beuys to 'just do it' that makes him so special imagine Picasso suggesting to Gertrude Stein that she might like to try rearranging the shards of her face into a new pattern when she got home.
		3 Beuys went on to become one of the 500 founding members of the German Green Party in 1979, and was famed for his radical approach to teaching and involvement in student politics at the Dusseldorf Academy of Art where he staged his famous sit-ins and many of his art 'happenings' during the 1960s.

		He was Joseph Beuys, fabulist and realist, romantic and activist, a man who made his life into one long, continuous and often seemingly contradictory art performance.
		Beuys was the last of art's great 20th-century myth-makers, an artist who, since his death in 1986, has attained mythic status.
		Beuys elevated the artist - and himself in particular - to the role of a latterday shaman with the power to heal his own, and the world's, ills.

		A member of the neo-Dada group Fluxus during the early 1960s, Beuys pioneered certain ritualized latter-day happenings that he called Actions; they were among the first contemporary examples of performance art.
		In these unconventional, often obsessional, and sometimes disturbing pieces and in his many drawings and posters, Beuys rejected abstract art in favor of an aesthetic that relied heavily on his own experience and that elevated subject matter to utmost importance.
		Famous in the international art world by the 1970s, Beuys had an important impact on an emerging group of avant-garde artists, first in Europe and later in the United States.

	Remarks on the Art of Joseph Beuys
		Beuys himself on the other hand, was always highly critical of the academic system and the lack of involvement on the part of university scholars in social processes and social evolution.
		The works of Beuys are explicitly designed for and concerned with an exchange of energy from the sculptural system into the social environment, first to an individual as a representative member of the human community and then second to the whole community.
		When a person comes into contact with a sculptural installation of Joseph Beuys the artwork opens up a dialogue in which the art object and the beholder are equivalent partners in a situation where both function as independent systems which mutually refer to each other.

	Joseph Beuys
		Beuys was both a teacher in the traditional sense, as Professor of Monumental Sculpture at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art where his students included such artists as Jörg Immendorf, Anselm Kiefer, and Imi Knoebel, and he extended his role as teacher to the creation of countless open forums for debate that assumed myriad forms.
		Beuys created a public persona that was a challenge to the status quo and a catalyst for change through action and interaction.
		For more than 20 years, Beuys' primary activity was teaching, spreading his ideas about art and the role of art in society to a wide range of audiences.

		Joseph Beuys, artist, shaman, political activist, provocateur, teacher and lecturer, is one of the few contemporary artists whose own image, clad in a funky felt fedora, is as well known as his work.
		Performance art, with the artist in the multiple roles of author, actor, director and stage crew, was a natural vehicle for him to express his belief in the artist's ability and right to try to heal a damaged world.
		Beuys as a con-ceptual artist used non-traditional ma-terials to call the tenets of traditional art into question.

		In fact, Beuys came to see the transition from coldness to warmth as an appropriate message for the modern world, one which would counter the destructive tendencies in contempory culture.
		Beuys was sensitive to the undercurrent of nihilism in modern art -- a kind of coldness or even death, the freezing point of all value.
		It was with this attitude that Beuys created his 1965 piece "How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare," which focused on the theme of rebirth from death and involved the use of the same fat and felt that had once saved Beuys himself.

		Actually, Joseph Beuys never really went away: he is a strong presence in Tate Modern even when they are not putting him centre-stage.
		One of the Beuys objects is a not perfectly clean laboratory measuring tube, calibrated up its side, and in it is a not perfect rose on its stem.
		We are glad that Lindsay Blair (in her Joseph Cornell's Vision of Spiritual Order, 1998) and Deborah Solomon (in her Utopia Parkway: The life and work of Joseph Cornell, 1997) has unpacked his boxes (the collections he made) and shown us the rather fragile man within.

		Beuys was fascinated by the simplicity and straightforwardness of many of the East German packages, which stated only contents, origin, weight, and price: he liked the bare-bones approach to identifying the material world.
		For Beuys, the beauty of an object’s materiality could be appreciated only when the object was removed from the market drives that kept it in circulation and use.
		Beuys saw Western society as sick: though he was fascinated by the straightforwardness of East German goods, he regarded both communism and capitalism as one-way streets leading away from individual and communal creative expression.
