Beuys is considered one of the most influential artist of the 20th century. Not only was he an artist, but he was a social philosopher, humanist and anthropologist. Beuys aimed to help sculpt our social ideals, and give way for all people to stand up and voice their opinion in any way they choose. While addressing political instability, Beuys created art with a message and meaning. By taking art in a different way, Beuys helped pave the road for any artist trying to create something of their own and reflective of themselves or the culture on which they want to comment.
He was one of the first artists to setp outside the box and cahlenge what people called "art". Beuys was creative and thought in a new way about what is possible in the art world, and what would send a message through a different way. Beuys was truly a pioneer in not only performance art, but many other areas as well.
