Arte e Política em Joseph Beuys: o Homem como obra de arte
The article seeks to address the relationship between art and politics present in the work of Joseph Beuys. The hypothesis for the analysis is based on the fact that the work of the German artist can not be reduced to mere political discourse. At the moment of dialogue, interaction with the public, Beuys believed both are carving, so "every man is an artist." Whether in the form of posters, multiples, videos, performances, or "conversations", the viewer is led to not only transform the society in which he lives (political action), but also to become, to build a new staff structure, open and therefore full meanings - poetry. Restrict ourselves to the two works "will not succeed without a rose" and "A Rose for Direct Democracy" - poster and multiple, since these two works allow us to reflect on some production issues present in the work of Beuys.
