{"product_id":"joseph-beuys-intuition","title":"Joseph Beuys: Intuition!","description":"This book examines the crucial period between Joseph Beuys' return to his hometown of Kleve after World War II at the age of 24 and his appointment as a professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 1961. During this \"incubation\" phase, key themes relevant to his future work emerged, which now structure this book: biography as material for artistic forming; Beuys and poetry\/romanticism; natural sciences: physics, chemistry, botany, zoology and geography; philosophy\/anthropology Steiner; evolution; 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 catalogue, is neither to venerate a local saint of Kleve nor to topple an artist from an earlier generation. Instead it highlights the influences, ideas and caesuras that saw Beuys develop from a \"sensitive traditionalist\" into a \"visionary social sculptor.\"","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664315256868,"sku":"9783958299009","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783958299009.jpg?v=1777357852","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/joseph-beuys-intuition","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
