Visual Art Section News: November Conference at the Goetheanum

Dear friends of the arts! As you may have heard already, my time as the leader of the section for visual arts is drawing to a close. I would therefore like to cordially invite you to the last major event that I am carrying in this function. 180 WORKS BY 80 ARTISTS FROM THE THREE-COUNTRY TRIANGLE BASEL  From 28 November to 1 December there will be a large sales exhibition in the carpentry workshop of the Goetheanum. The work of Frederieke Nelissen (Holland) and Zoltán Döbrötei (Hungary) will also be on show as well as the exhibition of contemporary paintings by Georgian artists at the 1st floor of the Goetheanum. (The artwork of all four exhibitions can be purchased.)

From the 29.11. to 1.12. you are warmly invited to this year's November conference entitled "Visual Art not within the frame? The renewal of Christian Art."  On Sunday, 1.12. during the afternoon from 2 to 4 p.m. we would like to offer an opportunity for exchange. Marianne Schubert will give a review of her work and a preview by Christiane Haid to the work of the Visual Art Section starting in January 2020 will conclude the weekend of art. Looking forward to seeing you soon with warm greetings  Marianne Schubert

Biography

             

Raised on a dairy farm in Berks County, Pennsylvania, Ted sketched the countryside around him. At age 16 he studied art for a year with Conrad Roland, a well known artist from Kempton. He graduated from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania with a B.S. in Art Education. Then he worked for 7 years as a graphic designer in New York City, while attending evening classes in drawing, illustration and design at the School of Visual Arts.

After taking the Foundation Year in Anthroposophical Studies at Emerson College, England, Ted studied German and speech-formation at the Goetheanum, Dornach, Switzerland, for 2 years. He completed a 3-year painting training, according to Rudolf Steiner's methods, with Beppe Assenza at the Goetheanum Painting School in 1976 (ERES MFA Equivalent), and was a teaching assistant in the school from 1975 to 1978. For 3 years he was employed as a painting therapist at Sonnhalde Schulheim Curative Home, Gempen, Switzerland, working with all ages from early childhood to adults.

Returning to the US, Ted directed the Arts Program: “Renewing the Art of Painting,” a year-long morning course at Rudolf Steiner College in Fair Oaks, California, from 1982 to 2003, as well as teaching many other art classes. From 2003 to 2005 he taught art at Davis Waldorf School. Travels to see the great visual art works of the world, in their original environment, formed the basis for art history studies
