Joseph Beuys Museum Joseph Bueys : An artist who combine life and art completely. A fighter pilot being shot down over the Crimean peninsular and then nursed back to life by Tartars who allegedly wrapped him in fat and felt. Later, these are frequently used in his artworks. Always prioritized the ideology over the art. His public appearances were an essential strategy in this context.
