Summary/Abstract: A biographical sketch of Joseph Beuys, sculptor and teacher (author of the terms: Theory of Sculpture and Social Sculpture), who attempted to combine opposites in order to set free mental energy. his works were supposed to become an impulse for a therapeutic process within the social organism and to cause the emergence of art in its unattainable completeness as anthropological art, followed by social art. The author of the notion and practice of an “expanded comprehension of art”, Beuys conceived the role of the artist as a mission.
