The Beauty of Forms in Nature

No circulation

The mesmerizing perfection of living organisms. Even those invisible to the eye. A cult album that influenced the development of design, architecture, and other arts. The zoologist Ernst Haeckel contributed immensely to science. However, one of his books gained fame... far beyond the scientific realm - and it is before you. Haeckel himself made sketches of the creatures he discovered. But he saw something more in these drawings. His series of colored lithographs “The Beauty of Forms in Nature” inspired artists around the world. The book had a huge impact on the art of the modern era, whose representatives sought to reproduce natural forms in stone, glass, and on paper. This edition contains all 100 lithographs by Haeckel, with indications of the depicted creatures and a preface by paleozoologist Alexei Bondarev, which will help understand the significance of this unique work.
