Building on the achievements of Goethe in his Theory of Colour, Steiner shows how color has an objectively moral affect on the feeling life, and even 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 artistic creation. A valuable source of reference and study not only for artists but for anyone interested in gaining an appreciation of art as a revelation of spiritual realities.
