Light, Colour and Darkness in Painting Therapy

von

Through her work as an art teacher, Liane
Collot d’Herbois discovered that an
individual’s constitution, temperament and
illness were often revealed through their
painting. Using Rudolf Steiner’s remark as a
starting point, together with her own observations,
she went on to develop therapeutic
painting.
Art therapy helps bring about balance and
health in the human being through working
with an understanding of the relationship
between the opposing tendencies of light and darkness in art and in the
human constitution.
