Beuys was a German artist known for his performance art. Most of his works were politically driven. An example of his work was when he trapped himself inside a Gallery with a coyote, blankets, flashlight and a cane, which was supposed to give personification to our political system. His abstract acts let the viewer personalize themselves in a way that was unique at the time. Beuys believes that he is a guardian/shaman that enlightens the art world with his performances.
