Address on Eurythmy

And when Goethe says that the artist takes order, measure, harmony, and meaning from the world in order to express them through the tools of his art, we can certainly hope that something artistic can be expressed when the human being—who is, after all, a microcosm, a small world, that is, who has all the secrets of the world pictorially represented in his inner processes and [which] can therefore be brought out, when man makes himself the tool for artistic representation, that is, when order, measure, harmony, and meaning are brought out of his own organization. Because we are not dealing with an external artistic tool, but with that which is revealed in the human being, the macrocosm, the whole world, we can believe that once eurythmy has been further perfected, it will be able to stand alongside the older, fully valid sister arts as a fully valid younger art form.
