By Olaf Breidbach. The Art and Science of Ernst Haeckel.
Biologist, Ernst Haeckel was enormously influential in the art world, particularly the Art Nouveau and Surrealist movements, and his elaborate and mesmerizing illustrations are the subject of continued interest by artists and designers. From his detailed renderings of radiolarians and his vivid depictions of embryonic development to his softly colored landscapes of the Italian countryside, these vibrant reproductions demonstrate Haeckel's deep appreciation for nature’s intrinsic design. One of the foremost scholars on Haeckel’s work explores his revolutionary theories on evolution, his contributions as a scientist and explorer, and his influence on art and culture. A richly illustrated profile of a revolutionary thinker and brilliant artist.
