Joseph Beuys

Joseph Beuys was from northwestern Germany. He volunteered to be in the military and his involvements in the war were a big apart of his artwork. He created a lot of work from his wartime experience and focused on a lot of drawings, sculptures and performances, in which he called 'actions.' Beuys was also experimenting and creating room installations and prints, which he called them 'multiples.' He was unconventional, unique and a lot of his creations were made from materials accessible to him.
