Although trained as a scientist and a philosopher, Rudolf Steiner
always placed a high value on the practice of art and always worked
artistically: whatever he did was done with great artistry.
Furthermore, as a spiritual teacher, Steiner's ideal was the
reunion of science, religion, and art in a new, human sacramental
culture. The eleven lectures collected here reveal the
many-facetted perspectives Steiner offered regarding the vital role
of the visual arts in human affairs. For Steiner, art is above all
a way of building a bridge between the spiritual and the physical
realms. His views are not abstract theories or utopian ideals, but
a constant striving through the inherent qualities of color and
form to realize concrete artistic projects in architecture,
sculpture, and painting.
On first meeting Steiner's radical ideas, many people -- artists
as well as non-artists -- wonder what sense they can make of such
an approach to art. The introduction by Michael Howard introduces
these ideas by recounting one artist's experience of struggling to
make Steiner's views and way of doing art his own. Ultimately,
however each person must make their own relationship to Steiner's
approach, buth the story of how one artist took up the challenge
may stimulate others to do the same. The book includes numerous
photographs.
