And we should ask: When in the broadest sense we strive for the beautiful in art, what is our goal? The very fact that the German word for “beautiful” proceeds outward (as its opposite suggests a remaining within our emotions, our hate) means that the beautiful bears a relation to the spiritual outside us. For what shines? What we apprehend with our senses does not need to shine for us; it exists. It is the spiritual that shines, radiating into the sensory, proclaiming its being even in the sensory. By speaking objectively of the beautiful, we take hold of it as a spiritual element which reveals itself in the world through art. The task of art is to take hold of the shining, the radiance, the manifestation, of that which as spirit weaves and lives throughout the world. All genuine art seeks the spirit. Even when art wishes to represent the ugly, the disagreeable, it is concerned, not with the sensory-disagreeable as such, but with the spiritual which proclaims its nature in the midst of unpleasantness. If the spiritual shines through the ugly, even the ugly becomes beautiful. In art it is upon a relation to the spiritual that beauty depends.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VI","site_heading":"Painting and the Spiritual Radiance of Color","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Und wir müssen uns fragen: Was streben wir denn eigentlich an, wenn wir durch die Kunst das Schöne, im weitesten Sinne natürlich, anstreben? Was streben wir da eigentlich an? Schon in der Tatsache, daß wir aus dem Sprachgenius heraus für das Schöne ein Wort wählen müssen, das aus uns herausgeht — für das Gegenteil gehen wir nicht aus uns heraus, bleiben wir in uns, bleiben bei unseren Emotionen, beim Hassen -, schon darin, daß wir aus uns herausgehen müssen, zeigen wir an, daß im Schönen eine Beziehung zum außer uns befindlichen Geistigen ist. Denn was scheint denn? Dasjenige, was wir mit den Sinnen sehen, braucht uns nicht zu scheinen, das ist da. Das, was uns scheint, was also im Sinnlichen ausstrahlt, sein Wesen im Sinnlichen ankündigt, ist das Geistige. Wir fassen also, indem wir von dem Schönen als Schönem objektiv sprechen, das künstlerisch Schöne von vornherein als ein Geistiges, das sich durch die Kunst in der Welt darlebt, offenbart. Es obliegt einmal der Kunst, das Scheinende zu erfassen, die Ausstrahlung, die Offenbarung dessen, was als Geist die Welt durchwebt und durchlebt. Und alle wirkliche Kunst sucht das Geistige. Selbst wenn die Kunst, wie es auch sein kann, das Häßliche, das Widerwärtige darstellen will, so will sie nicht das Sinnlich-Widerwärtige darstellen, sondern das Geistige, das in dem Sinnlich-Widerwärtigen sein Wesen ankündigt. Es kann das Häßliche schön werden, wenn das Geistige sich im Häßlichen scheinend offenbart. Aber es muß eben so sein, es muß die Beziehung zum Geistigen immer da sein, wenn ein Künstlerisches schön wirken soll.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":270,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-06-09/p005"}],"english":["GA 276/1923-06-09/p006"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":270,"en_words":208,"ratio":0.77,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.74,"band":"short","note":"This witness is materially shorter than the original (below 75%).
