Explore the poster art of Joseph Beuys and discover some of the philosophies that make him one of the most influential artists of the postwar period.

One of the most important German postwar artists, Joseph Beuys is known for his sculpture, performance art, activism, and teaching, influencing a generation of younger artists and expanding the concept of what art is. He had an ambitious goal for his art: to transform Western cutlure into a more peaceful, democratic, and creative place. He also believed that everyone is an artist and that art and life should not be viewed separately. This book pulls together all of the avant-garde artist's posters from his entire oeuvre. His earliest posters often announced exhibitions of his own performance art, while later posters expressed his political opinions mostly in favor of Germany's Green Party, which he was a founder of. This book includes full page illustrations of each poster, essays about Beuys's influence, and an extensive biography of the artist. No other medium expresses Beuys's heartfelt beliefs better than his own posters, which all employ a style of graphic design all his own.
