It’s fairly interesting reading about Joseph Beuys, an artist I have known about for years manly for his self made mythology about crashing his plane during World War Two in Siberia, being rescued by Tarters who covers him in fat and then wrapped him in Felt. This supposedly had a profound effect on him and permeated much of his art for the rest of his life. But the story was made up which is an interesting thing how a made up story can become a way of life.
As for Arte Povera ( poor art) this is pretty new to me thanks to @eatkatemoss Chris Graham for introducing me to this art movement, the idea of using what is at hand to make art rings with me at this current time and can be seen in my art practice as can a link to what Beuys was doing.
The funny thing is as others were buying food I was buying off cuts of wood.
