Exhibition Catalog
Museum Kurhaus Kleve-Ewald Matare-Sammlung, Kleve, 2022. Organized in association with Stiftung Museum Schloss Moyland, Sammlung van der Grinten, Joseph Beuys Archiv des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, Bedburg-Hau.
256 pp. 160 col. ills. 31 x 22 cm. Bilingual in English and German. Hardcover.
ISBN 9783958299009
This book examines the crucial period between Joseph Beuys' (1921-86) return to his hometown of Kleve after World War II at the age of 24 and his appointment as a professor at the Kunstakademie Dusseldorf in 1961. 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.''
Subject Headings: Eastern and Western European Art ; Western Art -- Germany -- Post-1945 -- Drawings and Watercolors ; Several Fine Arts Media (Western) --
Artist(s): Beuys, Joseph
