Art and Literature
Karl König began something like a social 'Gesamtkunstwerk', the art of living together.
Resumen
Al diseñar la comunidad en Camphill, Karl König no solo inauguró un camino de práctica en el arte social, sino que también comenzó algo así como una “obra de arte social total”. Todas las artes deberían integrarse en la vida social cotidiana y utilizarse con sus diversas posibilidades terapéuticas. La vida debe ser diseñada artísticamente hasta el último detalle.
El Instituto Karl König se ocupa del ámbito artístico en los siguientes ámbitos:
Diseño/bellas artes, pintura y escultura, música, poesía.
Las contribuciones de los distintos artistas se pueden encontrar en “Colaboradores”, "Colabaraciones, y “Publicaciones”.

Wayfarer
Poems and autobiographical miniatures (only German)
Presenting a biography - especially an autobiography - is a high level of art in which one has to look at what has become and what has not become with different eyes so that the invisible becomes visible. These eyes therefore need selflessness, love and gratitude, but also a dose of humor. In making the invisible visible, a voice may also become audible. May be it is conscience?
More about the book
Das Licht des Kindes – Ein Lebensfaden durch das Werk von Greg Tricker
En su búsqueda de lo “sagrado” en la humanidad, Greg Tricker ha desarrollado su propio lenguaje visual, profundo y poderoso, que recuerda a Rouault, Chagall y Cecil Collins. Aunque autodidacta, con el tiempo desarrolló una impresionante variedad de medios de expresión artística en pintura, escultura y gráficos.
El motivo recurrente de Greg son las “fuerzas de la infancia”; Se ocupa de personajes históricos que han conservado la pureza, la infantilidad y la creatividad o que brillan con el fuego de la juventud: Ana Frank, Kaspar Hauser, Francisco de Asís, Juana de Arco, la novia de Iona, Greta Thunberg y otros.

Marianne Brandt: pioneer of product design (Only in German)
Author: Anne-Kathrin Weise
As one of the most important designers of her time, Marianne Brandt significantly influenced the development of design in the 20th century. The utility device designed by Marianne Brandt embodies the program of the Bauhaus under Gropius: functionally designed, economically well thought-out and often also realized objects planned for series production.

An Inner Journey Through the Year
An Inner Journey Through the Year – Imagiative Drawings for the Soul Calendar
Karl König meditated intensely on the 52 weekly verses of Rudolf Steiner's Calendar of the Soul. During his time in internment on the Isle of Man, he made these 52 naïve, artistic sketches to accompany each verse. This is a wonderful way to experience an important spiritual tool.

Music and Pandemic
Does the Corona Pandemic Call Us to A New Look at Questions of Our Times?
Article by Richard Steel, New Years Day 2021
Extract from the text:
"... And we were not allowed to sing for each other, or to sing together! Through the pandemic speech and singing became activities of potential harm; the breath of my fellow human beings became something to be afraid of, something with hidden dangers. Language and music have begun to crumble as bridges between human beings, between groups and nations - and between the human being and the spiritual world. What will that mean long term? Will everything get back to “normal”? Was this a wakening call to notice what had already been developing – or perhaps also devolving and degenerating? Perhaps we had left the “norm” already?
The sense of hearing is without a doubt an area of great concern in our times; real speech and real music need to be seen as lifelines for the real human being, which is itself ultimately at stake"

Cooperation with the Artist Greg Tricker
Greg Tricker is an exceptional contemporary artist who uses many different techniques, apart from his paintings and prints, also doing sculpture and glass-work. He has worked on a number of themes over time, one of these being "Kaspar Hauser" . This caused us to make contact and prepare a publication about his biograpy and work. For this Brigitta Waldow-Schily, a board member of the Karl König Institute and art historian, accompanied him at work for some time and interviewed the artist. The book about his artistic path to Kaspar Hauser is only in German as yet but there is a beautuful art book with the Kaspar Hauser paintings and some background text in English:
Greg has given the complete Kaspar Hauser series of 37 pictures and 3 sculptures as a permanent loan to the Karl König Institute. Since Kaspar hauser's 200th birthday in 2012 we have organised 27 exhibitions, often including talks and guided tours but also embedded in conferences to the theme. We still offer to exhibit until around early Spring of 2021 when the Kaspar Hauser Center in Ansbach will be ready to open. The pictures will be included there as permanent exhibition. Please see our Newsletter about this project in Ansbach (Newsletter 20).

"The most important world problem" – The Evolutionary Role of Art for a Humane Future
What does it mean that we live in a time of such strong visual images, particularly from the digital realm, that penetrate our soul continuously and relatively beyond our control?
Reinhold Fäth describes the dangers and the potential healing that images can have for human development - for the future of humanity!
The arts will have a significant role to play for the future.
Reinhold Fäth
O Human Being!
Let not the pictures remain unconscious in you.
To your goal, to your work
Bring only the source of images
That springs from the angel to you.

LILAC – Hilma af Klint et aliae – Women Artists of a Meditative Modernism
Et aliae? The abbreviated Latin words „et al.“ mean „and others“ and are often found in scholarly writing, that represent more authors to avoid a long list of names. The unabbreviated „al.“ in Latin could be written in three different ways: masculine (et alii), feminine (et aliae) or neuter (et alia).
The list of women artists introduced here along with Hilma af Klint is indeed long, quite unexpectedly so and in response to the short question:
Are there other outstanding artistic personalities like Hilma af Klint to be discovered within the theosophical-
anthroposophical “occulture” of Modernism?

The project Aenigma - Hundred Years of Anthroposophical Art, led to a very successful exhibition in 2004/2005, which was shown in the Museum of Modern Art, Olomouc and the Kunstmuseum Moritzburg, Halle, and a beautiful and important publication.
Since then, research has continued and will change in 2020 especially focus on women in anthroposophical art. A very contemporary topic! (see attached PDF)
