True artistry has always emerged from foundations sought in the spiritual world. We must simply be clear that architecture, for example, emerged from a very specific supersensible perspective. We can link this to the external fact that, the further back we go, monumental buildings were essentially erected over burial sites. And when we call to mind the idea associated with such a monumental building as a burial place, it looks something like this. We must say to ourselves: Man is not complete in his earthly existence in his whole being. He leaves the earthly body with his own being by passing through the gate of death. In a sense, they continue their existence beyond earthly existence.
