  1. I like the photos at any rate. I wasn't as up on Beuys as I should have been. Just read the wiki on him. He had a fascinating, unusual life and career.

    1. Hi, Jonathan. When I first came across Beuys' art I couldn't understand why he would use such odd materials as felt and fat. Then I read about his experiences during the 2nd World War which made it clear why. As you say an unusual life.
