Gerard Wagner

Archetypal Plant Gerard Wagner

Gerard Wagner, born 1906, was the leading teacher of this school up to his death in 1999.

Through efforts to grasp the secrets of Rudolf Steiner’s training sketches for painters, Gerard Wagner succeeded in disclosing their metamorphic character and, out of this, was able to develop a systematic approach to painting.

The fruits of this research are his unique method of teaching and his archive of paintings both of which continue to be a source of inspiration for the school. Gerard Wagner’s archive of around 5,000 paintings is cared for by his wife Elisabeth Wagner.
