The Nature of Colours

Das Wesen der Farben

Three lectures, Dornach 6 to 8 May 1921, as well as nine lectures as supplements from the lecture series of the years 1914 to 1924.

These lectures, summarised here, are the fruit of Steiner's forty years of endeavour to discover the nature of colours. Here a view of colours is developed which releases the observer from his subjectivity and leads him into the realm of objective laws. Such a view, which is not dependent on physical theories, makes it possible to "grasp colour in its fluctuation, in its life".
