During a visit to the places of his early childhood at the Lower Rhine, Joseph Beuys rests for a moment during a stroll on the levee near Düffelward, gazing “back into his landscape of deep horizons and soaring skies,” as my friend and journalist Peter Sager wrote. “This is his landscape, very simple and with depth, sparse, like his works” – with hares, poplar trees and swans.

Today, performance artist, painter, sculptor, creator of installations, art theorist, shaman, social, political and environmental activist, and brilliant mind Joseph Beuys would have been 99. He was thought to be one of the most influential artists of the late twentieth century. Better known in the art world than by the general public, he was considered an “artist’s artist,” and influenced the work of many contemporary peers.

Early in my career, I was lucky enough to travel with Beuys back to his roots just before his large, solo retrospective exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. For more from my time with Joseph Beuys, follow the link in my bio.
