A Groundbreaking Study Of One Of The Most Important And Influential Artists Of The Postwar Periodjoseph Beuys (19211986) Was One Of The Most Significant Artists Of The Twentieth CenturyAnd One Of The Most Controversial. Working In Germany In The Aftermath Of World War Ii, He Explored A Radically Expanded Concept Of Art Through A Practice That Ranged From Performative Actions To LargeScale Sculptural Ensembles. While Some Contemporaries Found His Claim That Everyone Is An Artist Liberating, Even Revolutionary, Others Accused Him Of Fostering A Dangerous Cult Of Personality. In Joseph Beuys And History, The First Rigorous Art Historical Study Of The Artist In English, Daniel Spaulding Presents A Striking New Interpretation Of BeuysS Work And Career.By Putting Beuys In The Context Of GermanyS Postwar Recovery, Spaulding Shows That The ArtistS Superimposed Biological, Political, And Economic Metaphors Offered A Powerful Way To Think About The Trajectory Of Human Freedom, The Place Of Art In Capitalist Modernity, And The Possibility Of An Ecological Aesthetics. At The Same Time, His OeuvreS Disquieting Echoes Of The Nazi Past Suggest That Not Everything Could Be Reconciled In What Beuys Called Social Sculpture.A Definitive Account Of An OftenMisunderstood Figure, Joseph Beuys And History Proposes An Ambitious Rewriting Of The Dominant Narrative Of Modern And Contemporary Art, Drawing From Marxian ValueForm Theory, Hans BlumenbergS Metaphorology, And Ecological Thought. Precisely Because Beuys Went To The Extremes Of Art, The Book Demonstrates, He Belongs At The Center Of Its History.
