Anthroposophic painting, a style inspired by [[Rudolf Steiner]], featured prominently in the first [[Goetheanum]]'s cupola. The technique frequently begins by filling the surface to be painted with color, out of which forms are gradually developed, often images with symbolic-spiritual significance. Paints that allow for many transparent layers are preferred, and often these are derived from plant materials.{{sfn|Zander|2007|pp=381–382, 1080, 1105}} [[Rudolf Steiner]] appointed the English sculptor [[Edith Maryon]] as head of the School of [[Fine Art]] at the [[Goetheanum]].<ref name="EM">Paull, John (2018) [https://www.academia.edu/37021855/A_Portrait_of_Edith_Maryon_Artist_and_Anthroposophist A Portrait of Edith Maryon: Artist and Anthroposophist] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200322174156/https://www.academia.edu/37021855/A_Portrait_of_Edith_Maryon_Artist_and_Anthroposophist |date=2020-03-22 }}, Journal of Fine Arts, 1(2):8–15.</ref> Together they carved the 9-metre tall sculpture titled ''The Representative of Humanity'', on display at the [[Goetheanum]].<ref name=EM/>
