Eurythmy Performance

I always found it an extraordinarily beautiful—well, how shall I put it, I don't want to say definition, but a beautiful description of art when I read Herman Grimm's last essay on Raphael: What is art? Herman Grimm, who was a truly artistic human being, says: Art is what gives pleasure. This is actually the only true definition of art: Art is what gives pleasure. And if we really take this into our hearts: art is what gives us pleasure, then, because pleasure can be expanded, can become more comprehensive when new artistic means are found, we will increasingly regard eurythmy as a legitimate art form. And that is what we devote ourselves to as a hope.
