Sculpture is equally unsuccessful in expressing what is intended through its forms. If I were to use a word for what many people today may be striving for more or less unconsciously, I would use Goethe's word for the sensual-supersensory. Because in art it is indeed the case that the means of expression must be used to bring the sensual to representation. For that which cannot be perceived by the senses, which can only be grasped in an idea, cannot be considered artistic in any way, not even in terms of an external sign. Therefore, everything symbolic is inartistic, and everything allegorical is inartistic. The artistic must present itself to people in a sensory way, but at the same time, the sensory must appear as supersensory. One must receive such an impression from the sensual as one otherwise only receives from the supersensible. Schiller, in a magnificent way that has not yet been appreciated, expressed this view, which is also that of Goetheanism, in his Letters on the Aesthetic Education of the Human Race.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"59.

Ebenso wenig gelingt es der Plastik, durch ihre Formen dasjenige zum Ausdruck zu bringen, was gewollt wird. Wenn ich ein Wort gebrauchen sollte für dasjenige, was vielleicht mehr oder weniger unbewusst heute viele anstreben, so möchte ich das Goethe’sche Wort von dem Sinnlich-Übersinnlichen gebrauchen. Denn in der Kunst ist es ja wirklich so, dass durch die Ausdrucksmittel angestrebt werden muss, das Sinnliche zur Darstellung zu bringen. Denn dasjenige, was nicht sinnlich wahrgenommen werden kann, was nur etwa in der Idee erfasst werden kann, das kann, auch nicht dem äußeren Zeichen nach, nicht irgendwie als künstlerisch gelten. Daher ist alles Symbolische unkünstlerisch, auch alles Allegorische unkünstlerisch. Das Künstlerische muss sinnlich sich vor den Menschen hinstellen, aber es muss zu gleicher Zeit das Sinnliche als übersinnlich wirken. Man muss von dem Sinnlichen einen solchen Eindruck bekommen, wie man sonst nur von dem Übersinnlichen erhält. - Schiller hat in einer großartigen, heute noch nicht gewürdigten Weise diese Anschauung, die ja auch die des Goetheanismus ist, in seinen Briefen über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschengeschlechtes zum Ausdruck gebracht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":237,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277b/1920-04-17/p005"}],"english":["GA 277b/1920-04-17/p005"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":237,"en_words":229,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2719,"original_word_count":2730,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1918–1920","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277b/English/SOL2024/19200417e01.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.
