JosephBeuys

CastOfThousands Joseph Beuys's Eurasia Siberian Symphony 1963 in three photos: taxidermy hare on poles against the chalk-drawn panel, plus the museum label okay, i used to love his work... i found it beautiful. i think i was hypnotized into it at art school. along with abstract art, it took some effort but i learned to appreciate it while not falling for the whole modernist routine. i don't know how i feel about it now... i still feel something for it. like i feel i understand what it could mean. the work itself, even if the man was a charlatan.

guess i believed that a certain combination of materials, contained miracles. alchemy and chemistry and formality.
