To paint a tree green is not true painting for the reason that however well one imitates her, nature is still the essential thing; nature is still more beautiful, more vital; it needs no copy. A real painter never imitates. He uses an object as a recipient or focus of the sun, or to observe a color reflex in that object's surroundings, or to catch, above it, an interweaving of light and darkness. In other words, the thing painted is merely an inducement. For example, we never paint a flower standing in front of a window; we paint the light which, shining in at the window, is seen *through* the flower. We paint the sun's colored light; catch the sun.","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.

Sehen Sie, man kommt da überhaupt zu keiner Malerei. Nicht wahr, einen Baum grün anzustreichen, einen Baum zu malen, - es ist fast dumm, wenn man sagt: einen Baum malen. Einen Baum malen und grün anstreichen, das ist doch keine Malerei, denn es ist schon aus dem Grunde keine Malerei, weil -— was man auch im Nachahmen der Natur vollbringt — schöner, wesenhafter doch die Natur immer ist. Lebensvoller ist doch immer die Natur. Es ist gar keine Veranlassung, dasjenige nachzuahmen, was draußen in der Natur ist. Aber das tut auch der wirkliche Maler nicht. Der wirkliche Maler benützt den Gegenstand dazu, um - sagen wir die Sonne darauf scheinen zu lassen, oder um irgendeinen Farbenreflex aus der Umgebung zu beobachten, um das Ineinanderweben und leben von Hell-Dunkel über einem Gegenstande aufzufangen. Es gibt also der Gegenstand, den man malt, eigentlich immer nur die Veranlassung zum Malen. Man malt natürlich niemals, sagen wir eine Blume, die vor dem Fenster steht, sondern man malt das Licht, das zum Fenster hereinscheint und das man so sieht, wie man es durch die Blume sieht. Man malt also eigentlich das gefärbte Licht der Sonne. Das fängt man auf.
