Colour Dynamics II: Painting the Twelve-fold Colour Language of Aristotle and Rudolf Steiner

Color affects everyone deeply—we feel the soul of the world when immersed in color. Imagine the sun shining through the pale greens of spring beech leaves with a cobalt blue sky above and shimmering bluebells below. We feel the world afresh with senses renewed, and we become enchanted by color. We become one with colors. Now we are ready to paint…

This volume is based on the “world alphabet” of Aristotle’s categories, which was extended by Rudolf Steiner. Angela Lord offers a vivid approach to color theory that renews the way we see, experience, and interpret the formative forces of color. We are able to paint from the heart of each color.

Colour Dynamics II is a useful resource for art students, painters, teachers, art therapists, and every kind of designer. It enlivens Aristotle’s invitation to “delight in the senses” through renewed aesthetics while refreshing the soul as a counter to the virtual world of digital screens.
