Joseph Beuys 1921-1986

Beuys was highly influential in shifting the emphasis from what an artist makes to his personality, 
activities and  opinions. His charismatic presence was integral to his work 
and he communicated his expanded concept of art through performance, public discussion and political campaigning. His clothes became an instantly recognisable uniform-
jeans, white shirt, a fishing vest, fur-lined coat and a trilby hat.
