    amazing artist with a huge personality--a must for modern art fans or newbies
    Amazing film about an amazing artist with a huge personality and a lot to say. If you like the doc about the performance artist who stares into people's eyes, art in public life, dada and so on--or fishing jackets (not explained in the film) go for it. Also see public debates on art where Beuys destroys academics and students etc.
