5.0 out of 5 stars The Magus Draws His Own Way, May 16, 2006

This review is from: Joseph Beuys Early Drawings (Schirmer's Visual Library) (Paperback)

True. Joseph Beuys could not draw like Leonardo (who can ?). He was no Augustus John either. Neither even Pisanello who so lovingly inspired the Magus who had communicated with dead Hares and living Coyotes. But he had a certain delicacy, a touch of mystique that is unimistakable Beuys. His raw, always vulnerable, sexuality is a wonder to behold.
I hardly travel any place without this neat paperback edition. Beuys is, definitely one of my top ten drafstmen (Leonardo topping the list).

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this if you are at all interested in Joseph Beuys, December 3, 2000

This review is from: Joseph Beuys Early Drawings (Schirmer's Visual Library) (Paperback)

If you know anything abouy Beuys, this book will be so interesting to you! As the title says, these are his early drawings, they are great to see in comparison to his later sculture etc. It's is mostly a collection of works, but the tiny book also has information about the artist and by the artist! This is a great reference material on Beuys, and it's pretty inexpensive!
