About this product
Product Information
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. 100 colour, 24 b/wProduct Identifiers

Inspirational Art Images.
Already had a mini pocket 40 page version of this book, but this large format 140 page edition was well worth purchasing. Interesting introduction about Ernst Haeckel scientific and artistic, and a few other designers. The illustrations whether black & white or colour are both fascinating to look at and an inspiration for drawing and design. Recommended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A beautiful book, a perfect blend of biology and art
This is a beautiful book, the prints are just incredible, a fascinating blend of biology and art. I bought it for my boyfriend, who has a degree in marine biology, and he was very impressed with the illustrations, particularly the sea life. I thought it was good value for money and would highly recommend it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
