Rudolf Steiner
Blackboard Drawings 1919-1924
Edited by Walter Kugler
Rudolf Steiner, founder of Anthroposophy, recorded his view of the world in many books, but also in over 5,000 lectures. Here, he explained his ideas on a wide range of subjects: education, science, the social question, art, architecture, medicine and agriculture.
Steiner spoke freely, using only minimal notes. But when explaining conceptually difficult subject matter he frequently resorted to illustrating what he was saying with coloured chalks on a large blackboard. After the lecture the drawings were rubbed out and thus irretrievably lost - but not in every case. From the autumn of 1919 onwards, thick black paper was used to cover the blackboards so that the drawings could be rolled up and stored.
The Trustees of Rudolf Steiner’s Estate at Dornach, Switzerland, possesses over 1000 of these drawings which visually document Steiner’s creative way of thinking and also his view of the world. A selection of the drawings was first shown to a wider public in 1992, and since then numerous exhibitions in Europe, America and Japan have generated much interest in the works of Rudolf Steiner.
