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.
