The working partnership of artist Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) and Caroline Tisdall (b. 1945) was among this century's most productive relationships between artist and amanuensis. This photographic record documents their wide-ranging travels for Beuys's actions, installations and lectures over a period of more than thirteen years. This book's title, We Go This Way, refers to a phrase used by Beuys in his travels with Tisdall and suggests a way forward through the often daunting complexity of Beuys's philosophy and art. More than 400 of Tisdall's own photographs, most of which are previously unpublished, are accompanied throughout by a text in which Tisdall leads the reader through such diverse topics as Beuys's relationship to alchemy, botany, ecology, economics, literature, philosophy, politics, psychology and shamanism.
