But with this tendency something extraordinarily important is overlooked. We forget namely Art. As we get more and more physical, Art departs further from us. No one will find a trace of Art in the books on Physics today. Nothing remains of Art—it must all go. It is ghastly studying a book on Physics at all today if one has an atom of feeling for beauty. Art is overlooked by man just because everything out of which colour and sound weave beauty, is, and is only recognized when it is attached to a weighty object. And the more physical people become, the more inartistic they become. Just think. We have a wonderful Physics; but it lives in denying Art; for it has reached the point of treating the world in such a manner that the artist takes no more heed of the physicist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Aber mit dieser Tendenz entfällt einem etwas außerordentlich Wichtiges. Es entfällt einem nämlich das Künstlerische. Indem wir immer physikalischer und physikalischer werden, nimmt das Künstlerische von uns Abschied. Kein Mensch wird heute in dem, was die Physikbücher schildern, noch eine Spur von Kunst finden. Da ist nichts mehr von Kunst, da muß alles, alles heraus. Es ist ja schauderhaft, heute überhaupt ein Physikbuch zu studieren, wenn man noch eine Spur von Schönheitsgefühl hat. Dadurch, daß alles, woraus die Schönheit gewoben wird, aus Farbe und Ton, dadurch, daß das alles vogelfrei wird, daß es nur anerkannt wird, wenn es an den schweren Dingen haftet, gerade dadurch entfällt den Menschen die Kunst. Heute entfällt sie einem. Und je physischer die Menschen werden, desto unkünstlerischer werden sie! Denken Sie doch einmal: Wir haben eine großartige Physik. Dazu bedarf es wahrhaftig nicht des Zurechtweisens der Gegner, daß man auf anthroposophischem Felde sagt: Wir haben eine großartige Physik. — Aber die Physik lebt von der Verleugnung des Künstlerischen. Sie lebt in jedem einzelnen von der Verleugnung des Künstlerischen, denn sie ist angelangt bei einer Art, die Welt zu behandeln, bei der sich der Künstler gar nicht mehr kümmert um den Physiker.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":236,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/228/1923-07-29/p046"}],"english":["GA 228/1923-07-29/p044"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":236,"en_words":169,"ratio":0.72,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 228/1923-07-29/p046"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.87,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5617,"original_word_count":6473,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Henry Collison","identified_edition":"RSPC1935","book_title":"Colour","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA291/English/RSPC1935/19230729p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
