Description
German artist Joseph Beuys reflects on his theory of art, filmed like a kinetic sculpture. The film won the 1981 award for best short film from German film critics. Artist Joseph Beuys presents his conception of art—his face turned to the wall and his back to the camera. A tribute to the sixty-year-old artist, radical in its simplicity and perfectly in harmony with its subject.
