Art book, 1998, 206 pages, 142 illustrations, 23.3 x 31 cm, hardcover. 96 drawings from Joseph Beuys' various sketchbooks are reproduced in color for the first time The Codices Madrid (1493-1505) by Leonardo da Vinci, rediscovered in 1965, prompted Joseph Beuys to dedicate drawings to the artist of the Renaissance, which he created in 1974 and 1975 during his stays in Italy, Kenya and Ireland. Not only does Joseph Beuys' extensive knowledge of the work and thought of Leonardo da Vinci become clear in these drawings, but also the desire to further develop and redefine the legacy of his predecessor.
