  • Harry Collison, MA – Kingston University Working Paper ______
    Harry Collison, MA – Kingston University Working Paper __________________________________________________________________________________________ HARRY COLLISON, MA (1868-1945): Soldier, Barrister, Artist, Freemason, Liveryman, Translator and Anthroposophist Sir James Stubbs, when answering a question in 1995 about Harry Collison, whom he had known personally, described him as a dilettante. By this he did not mean someone who took a casual interest in subjects, the modern usage of the term, but someone who enjoys the arts and takes them seriously, its more traditional use. This was certainly true of Collison, who studied art professionally and was an accomplished portraitist and painter of landscapes, but he never had to rely on art for his livelihood. Moreover, he had come to art after periods in the militia and as a barrister and he had once had ambitions of becoming a diplomat. This is his story.1 Collisons in Norfolk, London and South Africa Originally from the area around Tittleshall in Norfolk, where they had evangelical leanings, the Collison family had a pedigree dating back to at least the fourteenth century. They had been merchants in the City of London since the later years of the eighteenth century, latterly as linen drapers. Nicholas Cobb Collison (1758-1841), Harry’s grandfather, appeared as a witness in a case at the Old Bailey in 1800, after the theft of material from his shop at 57 Gracechurch Street. Francis (1795-1876) and John (1790-1863), two of the children of Nicholas and his wife, Elizabeth, née Stoughton (1764-1847), went to the Cape Colony in 1815 and became noted wine producers.2 Francis Collison received the prize for the best brandy at the first Cape of Good Hope Agricultural Society competition in 1833 and, for many years afterwards, Collison was a well- known name in the brandy industry.

    ALBERT STEFFEN CENTENNIAL ISSUE NUMBER 39 AUTUMN, 1984 ISSN 0021-8235 . Albert Steffen does not need to learn the way into the spiritual world from Anthroposophy. But from him Anthroposophy can come to know of a living “Pilgrimage ” — as an innate predisposition o f the soul — to the world of spirit. Such a poet-spirit must, if he is rightly understood, be recognized within the anthroposophical movement as the bearer o f a message from the spirit realm. It must indeed be felt as a good destiny that he wishes to work within this movement. H e adds, to the evidence which Anthroposophy can give of the truth inherent within it, that which works within a creative personality as spirit-bearer like the light of this truth itself.

  • Theodora's Prophetic Revelation
    David W. Wood Theodora’s Prophetic Revelation The Open Biographical Secrets of Rudolf Steiner’s Drama Characters, Part II The present text is a continuation of the research approach followed in our earlier article “The Course of Dr. Strader’s Life”. It seeks to uncover the identity of the real-life historical personality behind Rudolf Steiner’s drama character of the seeress Theodora.1 This character is in turn a metamorphosis of the figure of the Hawk in Goethe’s Fairy Tale. Both Theodora and the Hawk unite in themselves two events: they reflect the final glow of a past epoch before catching the first rays of a newly dawning day. Spiritual Realism Steiner’s very first idea for a theatre play in Munich in the summer of 1910 was not to perform a mystery drama of his own composition, but a dramatized version of Goethe’s Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and Beautiful Lily. However, the project ran into difficulties. The fairy tale images that were suitable for Goethe’s epoch had to be metamorphosed and rendered more realistic in Steiner’s time: “It did not work. One had to conceive it in a much more realistic manner. And out of this there arose the Portal of Initiation. It is obvious: during Goethe’s time the epoch had not yet arrived in which one could carry over what could be seized in fine fairy tale images into the real figures that are in the Portal of Initiation.”2 Steiner designated the art of this first drama as “spiritual realism”, because it sought to depict in an artistic manner real spiritual experiences: “It is carried out with a certain aesthetic feeling, everything in it is spiritual-realistic.

  • The First Goetheanum: a Centenary for Organic Architecture
    Journal of Fine Arts Volume 3, Issue 2, 2020, PP 1-11 ISSN 2637-5885 The First Goetheanum: A Centenary for Organic Architecture John Paull* University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia *Corresponding Author: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT A century has elapsed since the inauguration (on 26 September, 1920) of a remarkable piece of architecture, Rudolf Steiner‟s Goetheanum, headquarters of the Anthroposophy movement, on a verdant hilltop on the outskirts of the Swiss village of Dornach, near Basel. The Goetheanum was an all timber structure, sitting on concrete footings and roofed with Norwegian slate. The building was begun in 1913, and construction progressed through the First World War. Rudolf Steiner‟s intention was to take architecture in a new and organic direction. On New Year‟s Eve, 31 December 1922, the Goetheanum hosted a Eurythmy performance followed by a lecture by Rudolf Steiner for members of the Anthroposophy Society. In the hours that followed, despite the fire-fighting efforts of the Anthroposophists and the local fire brigades, the building burned to the ground. The popular narrative is that the fire was arson but that was never proved. A local watchmaker and anthroposophist, Jakob Ott, was the only person to perish in the fire. He was falsely accused (in death) as „the arsonist‟ but the evidence is rather that he perished in his brave efforts at saving the Goetheanum. Rudolf Steiner saw the “calamity” as an opportunity “to change the sorrowful event into a blessing”. He promptly embarked on plans for a new building, Goetheanum II.

The Home of Rudolf Steiner: Haus Hansi Dr John Paull Geography & Spatial Sciences School of Technology, Environments & Design University of Tasmania [email protected], [email protected] ‘Haus Hansi' was home to Dr Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) in the incredibly productive final decade of his life. He lived in this quaint and comfortable house, known as ‘Haus Hansi’, from 1914 to 1924. The house is set high with good ‘street appeal’ (Image 1). It exudes the graciousness of a bygone era (Image 2). Image 1: Haus Hansi, street view (photo: J Paull). Steiner’s decade of residence at Haus Hansi witnessed the transformation of the mostly bare hill overlooking Dornach into Anthroposophy headquarters. The Goetheanum, the Glass House (Glashaus), the Furnace (Heizhaus), the Electrical Transformer (Transformatorenhaus) and numerous other of Steiner’s innovative and distinctive organic architectural creations were built in this decade.
