Colour

Więcej o książce

The Colour lectures by Rudolf Steiner build on the achievements of Goethe in his Theory of Colour and shows how colour has an objectively moral affect on the feeling life, and even the health and well-being, of the observer. Distinguishing between “image” and “lustre” colours, Steiner lays the foundation, out of his spiritual-scientific research, for a practical technique for working with colour that leads to a new direction in artistic creativity. His many penetrating insights into some of the great painters of the past are supplemented by a deep concern to see a cultural renewal emerge out of spiritual science, or anthroposophy. “If you realize,” he states, “that art always has a relation to the spirit, you will understand that both in creating it and appreciating it, art is something through which one enters the spiritual world.” This volume is the most comprehensive compilation in English of Rudolf Steiner’s insights into the nature of colour, painting and artistic creation. It will prove to be an invaluable source of reference and study not only for artists and therapists but for anyone interested in gaining an appreciation of art as a revelation of spiritual realities.
