Painting the work and the workers, the action, the movement that produces creation and feeds dreams and desires. Actors that with their ordinary activity, their daily work produce for social and individual well-being. The relations between art and work, nature and social life. The social and political architecture where the human being creates his own universe and relationships. For Joseph Beuys every human being is a creative being and a free being, therefore a potential artist. In the 1960s he instituted the expanded concept of art saying that it can be expressed in all areas of human life. In this way it acts more directly within individuals. Thus, the work of art could make people aware that each human being is a potential creative being and able to use this potential to shape the society in which he lives. A concept that aims to cover all social organization.
