Joseph Beuys is considered to be one of the most influential European artists of the post-war era. As the pioneer of happening and performance art and a leading figure among Fluxus artists, his works include sculptures, installations, and graphics, as well as those based on art theory and education. Developing a strong interest in shamanism, healing traditions, spiritual science, religion, humanist thought and politics, Beuys explored the social and political impact of art, to reveal the possible roles it can assume.
