Joseph Beuys (1921 Kleve - 1986 Düsseldorf) (F)
Die Grünen 'Tierschutz ist = Lebensschutz', Filzstift auf Flugblatt, 29,5 cm x 21 cm Blattmaß, signiert, 24.9.1980 datiert, montiert.

Das Oeuvre von Joseph Beuys ist wohl wie kein anderes auf diese Weise von der Vision einer gesellschaftlichen Reform und künstlerisch wissenschaftlicher Arbeit durchdrungen. Seit Anfang der 1970er Jahre gewinnt Joseph Beuys internationale Anerkennung. Er intensiviert sein politisches und ökologisches Engagement, das immer größere öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erfährt, bis er 1980 erneut Spitzenkandidat für Die Grünen im Bundestagswahlkampf auf der Landesliste NRW ist. Auf dem Wahlplakat ist zum Datum, das kurz vor der entsprechenden Wahl vermerkt ist, die Signatur Beuys und der bekannte Hut des Künstlers zu sehen. Zudem wurde eine Pflanze, samt ihrer Wurzeln, die in den Boden ragen, der lediglich durch eine horizontale Linie gekennzeichnet scheint, zu erkennen. Ein gerader Pfeil nach oben führt von der Blüte der Pflanze hoch zum Wort Licht. In den Diagrammen des Künstlers spielen meist, so Prof. Dr. Timo Skrandies im 2021 erschienenen "Joseph Beuys Handbuch", drei wesentliche Aspekte zusammen: "[...] erstens die Hybridität ihrer Notationsform, zweitens ihre zweckhafte - fast pädagogische, mindestens auf Kommunikation hin angelegte - Visualität, drittens ihr Modus, vermeintlich weniger eigenständiges (Einzel-) Werk als vielmehr ,nur' Spur zu sein, steht bei den Beuysschen Diagrammen auf gespenstische Weise in einem Spannungsverhältnis zur argumentativen Vitalität und verführerischen Kraft, die das Diagramm als ,Offenbarungs'-Modus der Bedeutungsfülle und -vielfalt der Sozialen Plastik besitzt."

Die Grünen 'Tierschutz ist = Lebensschutz', felt-tip pen on leaflet, 29.5 cm x 21 cm sheet dimension, signed, dated 24.9.1980, mounted.

The oeuvre of Joseph Beuys is probably permeated like no other by the vision of social reform and artistic scientific work. Since the early 1970s, Joseph Beuys has gained international recognition. He intensifies his political and ecological commitment, which receives ever greater public attention until in 1980 he is once again the top candidate for the party 'Die Grünen' in the federal election campaign on the North-Rhine-Westphalia state list. On the election poster, the signature of Beuys and the artist's well-known hat can be seen on the date, which is noted shortly before the respective election. In addition, a plant, together with its roots, can be seen protruding into the ground, which seems to be marked only by a horizontal line. A straight upward arrow leads from the flower of the plant up to the word light. According to Prof. Dr. Timo Skrandies in the ''Joseph Beuys Handbuch'' published in 2021, three essential aspects usually play together in the artist's diagrams: ''[...] firstly, the hybridity of their form of notation, secondly, their purposeful - almost pedagogical, at least designed for communication - visuality, thirdly, their mode of being supposedly less an independent (individual) work than 'merely' a trace, is in Beuys' diagrams in tension with the argumentative vitality and seductive power that the diagram possesses as a 'mode of revelation' of the wealth and variety of meaning of the social sculpture.''
