Description
A contribution by Christiane Haid
Christiane Haid presents the development of Rudolf Steiner's understanding of art from childhood to Vienna. Immerse yourself in his deep connection with nature, in geometric revelations of the spiritual world, encounters with Schröer, Zimmermann and Brentano, and Schiller's Aesthetic Letters as a key to freedom. Steiner united Goethe's art and science in an inspiring way.
