And if in everything artistic there is some relationship to the spiritual, you will understand that with the artistic we place ourselves, creatively or through enjoyment, in the spirit world. A real artist may create his picture in a lonely desert. He does not worry about who will look at his picture or whether anybody at all will look at it, for he creates within a divine-spiritual community. Gods look over his shoulder; he creates in their company. What does he care whether or not anybody admires his picture. A person may be an artist in complete loneliness. Yet he cannot become one without bringing, by means of his creation, something spiritual into the world, so that it lives in the spirituality of the world. If one forgets this basic connection, art becomes non-art.","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 wenn Sie dies nehmen, daß überall eine Beziehung zum Geistigen vom Künstlerischen aus da ist, werden Sie verstehen, daß das Künstlerische doch etwas ist, wodurch man sich sowohl schaffend wie genießend mit in die Geisteswelt hineinstellt. Wer ein wirklicher Künstler ist, kann in einsamer Wüste sein Bild schaffen. Einerlei ist es ihm, wer von den Erdenmenschen das Bild anschaut, ob es überhaupt jemand anschaut, denn er hat in einer anderen Gemeinschaft geschaffen, er hat in der geist-göttlichen Gemeinschaft geschaffen. Götter haben ihm über die Schultern geblickt. Er hat in der Gesellschaft von Göttern geschaffen. Was liegt dem wahren Künstler daran, ob sein Bild irgendein Mensch bewundert oder nicht. Deshalb kann man Künstler sein in voller Einsamkeit. Aber auf der anderen Seite kann man nicht Künstler sein, ohne in die Welt, die man dann auch ihrer Geistigkeit nach betrachtet, das eigene Geschöpf wirklich hineinzustellen, so daß es darinnen lebt. In der Geistigkeit der Welt muß es leben, das Geschöpf, das man in sie hineinstellt. Vergißt man diesen geistigen Zusammenhang, dann wandelt sich auch die Kunst, aber sie wandelt sich mehr oder weniger in Unkunst.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":192,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-06-09/p026"}],"english":["GA 276/1923-06-09/p034"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":192,"en_words":140,"ratio":0.73,"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%).
