Physical and Spiritual Experience of Color: Therapeutic and Artistic Aspects
This book contains Lois Schroff’s further investigation into the mysterious realm of color. It follows her earlier books; Color: It’s relationship to Soul and Spirit (2003), and Experiencing Color between Darkness and Light (1985). Since 1977, she has been teaching the veil painting method learned from Liane Collot d’Herbois in Holland that is based on the color theories of Rudolf Steiner and J.W. von Goethe. She has also produced a DVD that demonstrates this technique; Spirit in Watercolor (1992).
Lois Schroff traces the her path of inquiry and discovery in the realm of color and delves into the interrelationship of art, science, and religion and explores theories of color and the interactions of light, darkness, and color. These explorations lead to a deepened understanding of activity in the human soul and ways that color can be used therapeutically.
Schroff speaks to every human being and offers guiding thoughts for artists. Included are five of her watercolor paintings, numerous illustrations, as well as five appendices, covering:
• Goethe’s prism exercises
• The evolution of color perception
• Green and magenta as spirit and soul
• Visible elements and invisible ethers
• Color intervals and tips for artists
The extensive bibliography encourages additional research by the reader.
