Originally published between 1899 and 1904, these plates reveal the unity and diversity of life through geometric and organic forms. Celebrated by both the scientific community and creative professionals, this volume remains a timeless source of inspiration for artists, designers, and nature enthusiasts alike. ## Description The geometric shapes and natural forms, captured with exceptional precision in Ernst Haeckel's prints, still influence artists and designers to this day. This volume highlights the research and findings of this natural scientist. Powerful modern microscopes have confirmed the accuracy of Haeckel's prints, which even in their day, became world famous. Haeckel's portfolio, first published between 1899 and 1904 in separate installments, is described in the opening essays. The plates illustrate Haeckel's fundamental monistic notion of the "unity of all living things" and the wide variety of forms are executed with utmost delicacy. Incipient microscopic organisms are juxtaposed with highly developed plants and animals. The pages, ordered according to geometric and "constructive" aspects, document the oness of the world in its most diversified forms. This collection of plates was not only well-received by scientists, but by artists and architects as well. Rene Binet, a pioneer of glass and iron constructions, Emile Galle, a renowned Art Nouveau designer, and the photographer Karl Blossfeld all make explicit reference to Haeckel in their work. Review: Exquisite.... - I was not disappointed. A delightful book. I picked this for my son's 11th birthday. He's really into nature, sci-fi and fantasy video games/books and drawing, so I thought it'd be helpful inspiration for the latter. The introductory section is detailed and well-written (for an older audience than my son, of course) but Haeckel's images speak clearly without the need for explanation. The meticulous detail of the plates is astounding. Each page features a symmetrical arrangement of etchings of related species of various classes of organism. Expect to see pages devoted to seaweeds, seaslugs, jellyfish, crustaceans, bats, fish and reptiles for example. And while these are conceptually familiar, in Haeckel's rendering they are bizarre and other-worldly. The spatial arrangement of organisms enhances the feeling of design, which is evocative of Art Nouveau style or some William Morris wallpapers. There's a mix of monochromatic and exquisite colour images and the book itself is substantial. I can't imagine anyone not being awed and fascinated by this collection of engravings. It could change the way you look at the natural world and is surely great inspiration for artists and designers. My son loved it. Review: Just buy it. - If you're so interested in this book that you've made it to the reviews then just buy it. It's a fascinating collection of illustrations that are beautiful to behold. The man was an artist without compare. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 260,609 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 170 in Printmaking (Books) 205 in Art Encyclopaedias 215 in Biological Sciences References | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 883 Reviews | ## Images ![Art Forms in Nature: Prints of Ernst Haeckel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uZDAOBimL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exquisite.... *by M***S on 2 September 2015* I was not disappointed.
