During this \"incubation\" phase, key themes relevant to his future work emerged, which structure this book: biography as material for artistic formation; poetry\/romanticism; natural sciences: physics, chemistry, botany, zoology and geography; philosophy\/anthropology and Steiner; economics, capitalism, labor, politics. The aim of this book, along with the 2021 exhibition of the same name at Museum Kurhaus Kleve for which it is the catalog, is neither to venerate a local saint of Kleve nor to topple an artist from an earlier generation. Instead it highlights the influences and ideas that saw Beuys develop from a \"sensitive traditionalist\" into a \"visionary social sculptor.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Beuys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3958299008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783958299009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.81h x 8.43w x 0.94d","brand":"Joseph Beuys","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982465171711,"sku":"9783958299009","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43bd13ff-e020-40f2-b456-716074c121b3.jpg?v=1683261314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joseph-beuys-joseph-beuys-9783958299009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
