Such an architecture unites sculpture, painting and engraving as well as drama, music and dance - a vital synthesis of all the arts working in cooperation out of a common ideal to awaken each human being to his or her unique self and task in life.

ART AS SPIRITUAL ACTIVITY

Rudolf Steiner's Contribution to the Visual Arts

This book introduces a new way for thinking about, creating, and viewing art. Rudolf Steiner saw his task as the renewal of the lost unity of science, the arts and religion; thus he created a new, cognitive scientific and religious art. The implications of his act - recognized by such diverse artists as Wassily Kandinsky and Joseph Beuys - are only now coming fully to light. In his thorough introduction Michael Howard takes readers through these thought-provoking chapters.

THE ARTS AND THEIR MISSION

Steiner's extraordinary insights on architecture, sculpture, painting, drama, costuming, music, poetry, eurythmy and more.

BLACKBOARD DRAWINGS 1919-1924

Edited by Walter Kugler, with contributions by Taja Gut, Martina Maria Sam and Wolfgang Zumdick

Did Rudolf Steiner dream these things? Did he dream them as they once occurred, at the beginning of all time? They are, for sure, far more astonishing than the demiurges and serpents and bulls found in other cosmogonies.

COLOUR

Building on the achievements of Goethe in his Theory of Colour, Rudolf Steiner shows how colour affects us in many areas of life, including our health, our sense of well-being, and our feelings. Distinguishing between 'image' and 'lustre' colours, he lays the foundation, based on his spiritual-scientific research, for a practical technique of working with colour that leads to a new direction in artistic creativity.

The Complementaries

Exercises to experience the complementary colours. With 8 colour plates.

THE INNER NATURE OF COLOR

Studies on the Philosophy of the Four Elements

J.L Benson

In this fascinating work, J. Leonard Benson describes the spiritual and esoteric nature of color in relation to the four elements-fire, earth, air and water. Based on insights provided by Rudolf Steiner and a deep knowledge of classical cosmology and color theory, this book shows how an understanding of the inner nature of color leads to a completely different view of the world and evolution than is current in our present civilization - one completely at odds with the ruling neo-Darwinian paradigm.

SPIRIT AND ART

Pictures of the Transformation of Consciousness

Van James

Art, originally a part of the secret mystery cults of the ancient world, has become an expression of the individual creative intuition. This richly readable and lavishly illustrated text reveals how human consciousness has evolved through the medium of art. It makes the case for a hidden stream that has put forth art works and art movements throughout history, in an ongoing visible revelation of invisible spiritual currents.
