Description

Ernst Haeckel's prints of natural forms have had a lasting impact on the world of art and design. This collection of plates, first published between 1899 and 1904, showcases Haeckel's meticulous research and artistic skill. The prints demonstrate his fundamental monistic notion of the "unity of all living things", featuring a wide range of forms executed with delicacy and precision. The plates are arranged according to geometric and "constructive" aspects, documenting the diversity of the natural world in its most varied forms. This unique collection was not only well-received by scientists, but also by artists and architects, who drew inspiration from Haeckel's work. The influence of Haeckel's prints can still be seen today, with many designers and artists continuing to be inspired by his innovative approach. The book features 139 pages of Haeckel's prints, bound in paperback and presented in a clear and concise manner.
