"In the conceiving his architectural masterpiece - the Goetheannum in Dornach, Switzerland - Rudolf Steiner designed a large wooden model, featuring three main figure, to be placed in a central position inside the building. Known as the 'Representative of Humanity', this sculpture shows a central and free-standing Christ holding a balance between the beings of Lucifer and Ahriman, who represent polar tendencies of expansion and contraction. On New Year's Eve 1922, the Goetheanum was destroyed by fire, bu the model - still in a process of creation and therefore housed in an external studio - miraculously escaped the flames. Its remains intact to this day in the present Goetheanum. With numerous full colour photos and illustrations, [title] offers a vivid introduction to this monumental, world-historic artwork. We follow the evolution of the statue through the photographic documentation of many models created in its development: from six smaller versions to a full-size plasticine construction. This latter model-also still on display- offers an impressive insight into the artists' detailed intentions, having been repeatedly revised by Rudolf Steiner. It demonstrates the continual spiritual movement evident in the whole series of small models, and the metamorphic processes which developed over an eight-year period." -- P [4] of cover.
