I am a Transmitter: The Drawing of Joseph Beuys explores the centrality of drawing to Beuys’s artistic practice and stands as a testament to the growing influence of the preeminent postwar artist’s legacy. Featuring 110 drawings from a family collection begun by the art historian, poet, and Beuys’s confidant Heiner Bastian, this book offers a synoptic cross-section of the artist’s oeuvre through an intimate study of the origins of his practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThematic sections elucidating Beuys’s philosophical beliefs and holistic process reveal the broader dimensions and formative quality of his drawings. By illustrating Beuys’s motivating concern—activating forces of nature to set in motion a process of transformation that would break new artistic and social ground—this collection powerfully delineates the wholeness of Beuys’s thinking and design.
