Joseph Beuys' lifelong mission was to heal society.

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the war and a neurotic failure, he re-invented himself as an interpreter – starting his enduring mission to heal society as he himself had been recovered throughout the war.

Beuys made himself into a work of painting. For his whole work, he attired in his brand trappings of jeans – a fresh pair every day – a white shirt, a netting undershirt covered in useful pockets, and a pressed trilby cap from Lock and Co of St James, London. The wool-felt wool of the hat had a realistic use: it covered the two alloy silverware that Beuys had in his scalp, as a consequence of his wartime wounds, from the extreme of hot and cold. He was seldom seen without the trilby, kidding to his assistant and companion Caroline Tisdall: “the hat could do it on its own.”

Joseph Beuy's lifeling mission was to expand the concept of art to politics, society, and environment. He was a performance artist, sculptor, and theorist. He did performances that were greatly artistic, full of symbolism and had political elements.
