Product Description

Building on the achievements of Goethe in his Theory of Color, Steiner shows how color has an objective, moral affect on the feeling life, and even on the health and well-being of the observer.

Distinguishing between “image” and “luster” colors, Steiner lays the foundation for a practical technique for working with color that leads to a new direction in artistic creativity. This volume is the most comprehensive compilation in English of Steiner’s insights into the nature of color, painting, and art. Here is a valuable source of reference and study for anyone interested in a greater appreciation of art as a revelation of spiritual realities.

About the Author
RUDOLF STEINER (1861–1925) became a respected and well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, particularly known for his work on Goethe’s scientific writings. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his earlier philosophical principles into an approach to methodical research of psychological and spiritual phenomena. His multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, philosophy, religion, education (Waldorf schools), special education (the Camphill movement), economics, agriculture (biodynamics), science, architecture, and the arts (drama, speech and eurythmy). In 1924 he founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which has branches throughout the world.
