Form and Beauty Depicting the Wonder of Nature
This edition includes a visual index of the plates.
With its meticulous color illustrations of exquisite life forms, Ernst Haeckel's renderings are still considered accurate--after more than a century. Art Forms in Nature perfectly marries art and science. Haeckel, although a prolific biologist, chose here to report only the visual information, with no written essays. Nature, in his own words, embodies a sense of the beautiful.
First published at the turn of the last century, this book was something of a status symbol, indicating the level of education and sophistication of the families whose homes it graced. Exhibiting the aesthetic sensibilities of the Art Nouveau period, Haeckel's work had a profound influence on many of the prominent artists of that time.
Each page is composed of single family of plant or animal matter, depicted without a setting, and identified only by their Latin classification. Unpretentiously celebrating the similarities and subtle variations within each classification, the forms speak for themselves.
Whether viewing a group of ammonites, jellyfish, or antelope, this dramatic display of the myriad forms of life make every page a wonderful discovery . This graphic tour de force will be treasured by readers of all ages.
This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a paperback (ISBN 1635619203).
