The Arts and Their MissionBy Rudolf Steiner GA 276Steiner's extraordinary insights on architecture, sculpture, painting, drama, costuming, music, poetry, eurythmy, and more. From the contents:“The starting point for a new life of art can come only by direct stimulation from the spiritual world. We must become artists, not by developing symbolism or allegory, but by rising, through spiritual k..

"A real artist may create his picture in a lonely desert... gods look over his shoulder; he creates in their company. What does he care whether or not anybody admires his picture?" Rudolf Steiner

The Arts and Their MissionVIII D AY before yesterday I tried to show that the anthroposophical knowledge which accompanies an inner life of the soul does not estrange one from artistic awareness and creation. On the contrary, whoever takes hold of Anthroposophy with full vitality opens up within himself the very source of such activity. And I indicated how the meaning of any art is best read th..

The Arts and Their MissionVII W E MUST emphasize again and again that the anthroposophical world-conception fosters a consciousness of the common source of art, religion and science. During ancient periods of evolution these three were not separated; they existed in unity. The Mysteries which fostered that unity were a kind of combination art institute, church and school. For what they offered ..

The Arts and Their MissionVI T ODAY I would like to examine certain other aspects of our subject. I have often dealt with the genius of language, and you know from my book Theosophy that we refer to real spiritual entities when we speak of spiritual beings in an anthroposophical context. Thus “genius of language” designates the spiritual entity behind any specific language, an entity with w..

The Arts and Their MissionV I SHOULD like to supplement last week's lectures on art. Often I had to emphasize that the spiritual evolution of mankind has proceeded from the unity of science, art and religion. In presentday spiritual life we have science, art and religion separated, yet can look back into the time when these three streams flowed from a common source. That source is seen most cle..

The Arts and Their Mission IV T HE LAST two lectures concentrated on artistic feeling and creation. I wished to call attention to the fact that anthroposophical contemplation leads to a particular manner of beholding the world, which must lead, in turn, to an inner vitalization of the arts, present and future. At the end of yesterday's lecture I stressed the fact that, by gaining a direct relat..

The Arts and Their MissionIII Y ESTERDAY I tried to show how the anthroposophical world-conception stresses, more intensively than is possible under the influence of materialism, the artistic element; and how Anthroposophy feels about architecture, about the art of costuming (though this may call forth smiles), and about sculpture as dealing artistically with the form of man himself, whose head..

The Arts and Their MissionII O NE result of anthroposophical spiritual science — once it has been absorbed into civilization — will be a fructification of the arts. Precisely in our time the human inclination toward the artistic has diminished to a marked degree. Even in anthroposophical circles not everyone thoroughly comprehends the fact that Anthroposophy strives to foste..

The Arts and Their MissionBy Rudolf Steiner The Arts and Their Mission I T TODAY I propose to carry further certain points made in recent lectures concerning the evolution of humanity since the time of Christ. Looking back, in survey, over the evolution of mankind, we see that the epochs described in anthroposophical spiritual science take their shape from the particular soul constitution of th..

The Meaning of the White Rose by Flowering Joy Ah! The beautiful rose - enthralling and bewitching in its simple elegance. Every rose has its own personal message to convey, hidden in its color and its size. Not every rose for every person, or for every occasion. It would be nice to ensure that you are communicating the right message to that special person. What then could be the meaning of whi..

Do not believe anything Because it is said by an authority, Or if it is said to come from angels, Or from gods, or from an inspired source. Believe it, Only if you have explored it in your own heart And mind and body and found it to be true. Work out your own path, Through diligence. - Lord Buddha - Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in..
