Humor: Rudolf Steiner the Cartoonist
AN ONLINE ILLUSTRATED PRESENTATION BY VAN JAMES
Rudolf Steiner had several things to say about the importance of humor and laughter from a spiritual scientific point of view and its significance for humanity. What is not so very well-known is his own sense of humor and that he drew humorous cartoons. In this introduction to the theme of humor, we will share some of Steiner’s thoughts on humor and laughter, hear various comic antidotes, see and discuss some of his caricature sketches, and draw some cartoons of our own. Come prepared with a
black pencil or pen and paper, as well as your favorite anthroposophical jokes.
