Interview of

Marianne Schubert

As part of the conference for members of the School of Spiritual Science at the this past November, Marianne Schubert introduced herself by sharing her life-journey as it has unfolded up to her assuming the leadership of the Art Section in March 2014. Marianne studied architecture in Darmstadt, landscape-planning in Kassel and landscape-ecology for one year in Vienna. A brief overview of her professional training makes it clear that she has a deep interest in the weaving together of people, architecture, and their place in the landscape, and that she experiences architecture as a form of social art. Marianne brings to the tasks of the Art Section both expereince and a natural disposition to build in service of others. Rather than a personal agenda to implement, she

V i s u a l A r t S e c t i o n G O E T H E A N U M Artist Biography

of Van James

I first heard the word Anthroposophy in the early 1970’s while completing my degree in drawing and painting at the San Francisco Art Institute in California. As a striving, young visual artist and musician, I was fully immersed in the dynamic counter culture movement of the time with its revolutionary ethic, free thinking attitude, and spiritual-artistic breaking down of barriers of all kinds.

The goals of contemporary art appeared very exciting to me in the short term, but in the long term seemed pointed to a dead end and an abyss. Could truly new answers be found in the contemporary art scene where individual style and market value were the goals? Early on it was clear to me that art was my life's path but it was equally clear that what I could see as the avant garde movement was no real answer to life's deeper questions. With a near-death experience at the age of twenty-one a departure from my art school lifestyle for the pursuit of anthroposophy seemed in order. I left San Francisco for Eng- land and Emerson College looking for a healthier, more enlightened alternative. included Frances and Elisabeth Edmunds, John Davy, William Mann, Through the many encounters I had Anne Stockton, John Wilkes, Olive at Emerson College, my painting Whitcher, Adam Bittleston, Michael preferences began to change from a and Roswitha Spence, Julian Pook, neo-surrealistic style based on Graham Richet, and visiting faculty, naturalistic forms juxtaposed in Dr. and Eva Mees, Arne Klingborg, unnatural settings to a more trans- Rex Raab, Michael Wilson, Dr. lucent palette of color-oriented Hagen Biesantz, Rene Querido, and imagery.

I now lecture widely throughout Oceana and Asia doing mostly teacher training work in the arts, and helping Waldorf-Steiner School teachers, artists and art therapists in the field. My own painting, illustrating, design work, and writing all weave together with the art of teaching.

Art and Anthroposophy have always gone hand-in-hand in my life, giving my work purpose and direction. I am in complete agreement with Rudolf Steiner’s invocation that “Art must become the lifeblood of the soul.”
