CODEX MADRID, FROM LEONARDO UP TO BEUYS

Abstract

Not surprisingly, the Madrid Codex is part of the endless number of studies done during his life by Leonardo da Vinci, standing alongside Codex Leicester, Codex Atlanticus, Codex Trivulzianus , Codex Arundel, Codex Forster or its Flights of Birds Codex, the Painting Treaty or Manuscripts in Paris. However, surprisingly, is that after 500 years, Joseph Beuys interpreted in his own way this document, in which the idea plays crucial role, by bringing together images, notes or charts.
