Gerard Wagner

Gerard Wagner, born in Germany in 1906, grew up in England and studied at the Royal College of Art in London. He went to Dornach, Switzerland, and in 1928 became a student of Henni Geck. On encountering Rudolf Steiner's training sketches he found his life's work. In metamorphosing them, he was able to develop a systematic approach to painting. Elisabeth Wagner-Koch became his first pupil in 1950, and together they founded a painting school at the Goetheanum, Switzerland. Gerard Wagner died in 1999, leaving a legacy of more than 4,000 images.
