Short description
Limited, 180 copies | Numbered | Signed | Color lithograph on Buetten paper | Framed | Format 68,5 x 89 cm
Beasts often occur in the self-developed mythology of Joseph Beuys. Based on archaic, primitive cultures of the shamans, he uses the typical oxblood red in his lithographs. Beuys commented that the stag was part of nature for ordinary consciousness, and posed the following question: "But how does nature react if each future nature is a nature created by man?"
We present the eighty years of Beuys' visionary reflections that go far beyond the boundaries of the art world. With the form of the deer, which also frequently appears in his drawings, the artist opens up a whole world of interpretive possibilities and also creates references to art history, such as German genre painting and nature scenes, which show the deer mostly majestically roaring against lush green forests. A popular motif in German living rooms that has nothing to do with the idea of art conveyed by Beuys.
Original color lithograph, 1979. Edition: 180 copies on paper, numbered and signed by hand. Catalog raisonne Schnellmann 316. Motive size / sheet size 56,5 x 76,5 cm. The format in the frame 68,5 x 89 cm as illustrated.
