The essence of art is truly in the eye of the beholder, and Joseph Beuys redefined the meaning of art when he once said that “every man is a plastic artist who must determine things by Alone. " You might find yourself asking the million-dollar question: “Who is Joseph Beuys?” Joseph Beuys was a German-born conceptual artist who began pursuing art as a career after serving as an airman in World War II. Beuys's assorted body of work ranges from conventional methods of drawing, painting, and sculpture. process-oriented or time-based action art. With his time-based "actions", Beuys suggests how art can exert a healing property on both the artist and the audience when the influence is psychological, social and political. . Beuys was a crucial member of the Fluxus movement of the 1960s, along with his contemporaries Yoko Ono and Nam June Paik. During the movement, many artists remained dissatisfied with the traditional standard of heroic, religious or rather object-oriented painting and sculpture. had been in place for some time before them, these artists found themselves moving away from the prevailing practices of the art community in favor of everyday found objects to create momentary, time-based actions, transitory art installations, and others. largely action-oriented events. According to an interview with Erwin Heerich, a friend of Beuys, "Contact with Fluxus endowed the question of art and life, in Beuys' mind, with a radically different meaning. In Fluxus he recognized a vital current which he liberated in him new impulses". --and here the other side of Beuys emerged, his powerful sensitivity and talent for the public arena and the media." In the center of the card, throughout Kassel, Germany, each accompanied by a stone marker 4 foot long basalt, Beuys believed that not only would the oak trees help improve the biosphere, but that the trees would also raise ecological consciousness, represent people's lives and their daily work, and that the trees represented the redevelopment, which of itself is a notion of time. Through the conceptualization and successful execution of his "action" installations, Joseph Beuys was able to present how he and many others were concerned with issues related to psychology, structure social and political. The messages contained in Beuys' works may not have been clear to many, but he sought to demonstrate that all human beings are creative and that art should not be easily understood because if it were there would be none it would be necessary. I believe that Joseph Beuys can be considered one of the greatest time-based interpreters of his time.
