Joseph Beuys

Associated Names

Joseph Beuys

Artist, German, 1921 - 1986

The image displays a black square on a white background with abstract white lines and scribbles intersecting and overlapping, resembling technical sketches or architectural blueprints. The lines form arcs, circles, and linear elements, with what seems to be handwritten notes and labels adding to the schematic appearance.
