| During lectures Steiner illustrated
his points by peculiar drawings now generally referred to as 'Thew
Blackboard Drawings'. Black sheets of paper were placed over the
blackboard and he drew on this paper. More than a thousand of such
drawings still exist. They combine expressive lines, lively colour,
images and text. These works have retained a freshness and arresting
spontaneity, qualities totally lacking in Steiner's other surviving
art efforts which in today's eye seem fairly derivative. |

| VASILY KANDISNKY | Inspired by Steiner's ideas
Vasily Kandinsky gradually abandoned recognizable forms, replacing
them with obscured motifs dictated by what he called 'inner aspiration'.
This aspiration sought to express a deeper understanding of the relationship
between nature and the spirit. Kandinsky even wrote a treatise entitled
'On the Spiritual Art'.

| JOSEPH BEUYS | Joseph Beuys drew many of his ideas from
Steiner's writings. He shared Steiner's conviction that humanity
can only progress when the dependence of scientific proof is given
up in favour of "the unfathomable dreams of truth." Beuys
produced many works in the Steiner blackboard tradition.
