Item description from seller

PAPERBACK, very good, one corner dog-eared, but little other sign of use. BENSON, J. LEONARD. The inner nature of color: studies on the philosophy of the four elements. Great Barrington, MA: SteinerBooks, 2004, 2d printing number line ending in 2, 224pp., . In this fascinating work, J. Leonard Benson describes the spiritual and esoteric nature of color in relation to the four elements -- fire, earth, air and water. Based on insights provided by Rudolf Steiner and a deep knowledge of classical cosmology and color theory, this book shows how an understanding of the inner nature of color leads to a completely different view of the world and evolution than is current in our present civilization -- one completely at odds with the ruling neo-Darwinian paradigm. The Inner Nature of Color will be of interest to artists, art historians, spiritual seekers and anyone who has ever been struck by the remarkable beauty of our colored world and wondered what it means. - CONTENTS: Introduction: The Cosmological Nature of Color -- Understanding Four Elements Theory Today -- Making a Picture of the Four Elements Theory -- Colors of the Four Elements and their Relation to the Remaining Colors -- Colors of the Four Ethers -- Toward a Philosophy of Color -- Rudolf Steiner's Color Qualities: Image and Luster -- Light and Color in Painting of the Turn of the Century -- Thoughts Inspired by Hilda Raske's Das Farbenwort -- Spiritual Quest of Piet Mondrian. ISBN 0880105143.
