Stunningly Detailed Art Work of Nature,
By Bugs "Patrick" (Los Angeles, Ca.) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Art Forms in Nature (Prestel Minis) (Hardcover)
Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) was a renown biologist and zoologist who was very adept at rendering fantastically detailed color and black and white drawings of a wide variety of life forms from microscopic sea life on up to plants, fish, birds and mammals.Most of the plates (about 50) in this beautiful HC Prestel Mini-series are done in color and each with the taxonomic order. There is a Foreward by Melanie Klier giving a short over-view of Haeckel's life and his dedication to promoting interest in nature through his artwork. This book is small and compact and will fit in a shirt pocket- sort of a Haeckel-on-the-go, if you will. A larger paperback version Art Forms in Nature is available.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A winning little title,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art Forms in Nature (Prestel Minis) (Hardcover)
There is a large-format edition of Ernest Haeckel's Art Forms In Nature on the market which is more appropriate for library lending. This Prestel edition of Ernest Haeckel's miniature version will appeal to the home user who might find inviting this mini-survey of art forms in nature. Illustrations of mammals, leaves, seashells and more provide both black and white and color embellishment extolling the wonder of art in the natural world. A winning little title, even if it does get lost on the shelf at times, being half the size of a normal paperback, and twice as thin.

two books, mixed descriptions,
By
This review is from: Art Forms In Nature (Prestel Postcard Books S.) (Paperback)
There are multiple books with reproductions of Haeckel's Art Forms in Nature. Two are published by Prestel: a $25 9x12 monograph with essays about the work, and a $9 3x5 postcard book. The descriptions of the two are mixed up. Both are great for what they are.Art Forms in Nature: The Prints of Ernst Haeckel (Monographs)
