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\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 11.81 x 8.43 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 28, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768089051424,"sku":"9783958299009","price":70.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/cc21e6ddcf873cc7957ad1d0a3abd9e9.jpg?v=1780324409","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/joseph-beuys-intuition-dimensions-of-the-early-work-of-joseph-beuys-1946-1961-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
