Hilde Raske

Hilde Raske, an artist and eurythmist, worked and experimented for many years to understand Rudolf Steiner’s art and use of color. Raske grew so familiar with his unique works that she could vividly and clearly describe every detail. She referred to Steiner’s artworks as “events” in color and light-and-dark, with living colors that “spoke” to her. It is said that, in the course of the many years preparing the manuscript for The Language of Color in the First Goetheanum, she would remark, “I can hear my paintings. And if I don’t hear them, then they’re just not quite right yet.”
