Ritual Artist: Joseph Beuys


Beuy spent three days in a room with a coyote to take this picture. Beuy was very anti American and came to america to take this picture but wouldn't touch american soil. He was wrapped in felt and put directly in an ambulance and taken to the room with the coyote and wrapped in felt again when he left to get back on the plane. He did not want to abosorb anything american other than the coyote. I personally do not like the picture because I don't feel that it communicates its message clear enough. He was trying to have the coyote represent the destruction on the Native Americans culture and land by European settlers.
