Abstract
This article undertakes the political position of three German artists in the agitated seventies. Joseph Beuys was along its professional life a politically committed artist. The fight against the middle-class elitism, the representative democracy and the protection of the environment marked their life. He proposed a strategy to transform society radically. An analysis of their proposals makes us reject their theories about politics and culture, not thus their estimable and brilliant economic theory. Vostell was a tactical artist who graciously understood that the cultural industry is not only the weapon of the established power, but also the plot of our time, and, for that reason, he fought the enemy with his own means. On the other hand the young Immendorff confused politics morals, while the mature Immendorff arrived at the comfortable beach of the cynicism
