The painter Henni Geck convinced Rudolf Steiner to paint five watercolors featured in this book:
- The Moon Rider (The Dream Song of Olaf Åsteson), January 1924
- New Life (Mother and Child), February 1924
- Easter (Three Crosses), April 1924
- The Archetypal Plant, May 1924
- Archetypal Human Being (or Archetypal Animal) July/August 1924
The paintings reproduced in this book--also including a selection from the works of the painter Gerard Wagner--arose from direct color experience and "imagination," as Steiner describes this inner capacity. The purpose of this volume is to focus on unique possibilities that can open up for the future of art in the world and become a means and path for spiritual-scientific inquiry.
