The deer is one of the central themes in Beuys' work. He created numerous drawings, installations and prints, such as the cycle "Circulation Time", in which the deer played an important role. The earliest documented depiction of a deer dates back to 1948; Beuys pursued the theme until the end of his career. For him, the deer has a male gender identity and, as it became increasingly clear in the 1950s, symbolizes death. "This has to do with a certain period of my life when I wanted to die," Beuys explained when asked in an interview.
