DARWIN. ART AND THE SEARCH FOR ORIGINS

Charles Darwin’s  epoch-making work On the Origin of Species revolutionized the science of biology, led to heated debates among scientists all over the world, and to confusion among the public at large. This publication focuses on the influence of Darwinism in the visual arts. Using 150 paintings, drawings and lithographs, as well as rare documentary material as illustration, the book bridges a chronological spectrum from 1859 to the mid-twentieth century.

Edited by Pamela Kort and Max Hollein. With a foreword by Max Hollein and essays by Jane Goodall, Marion Jourdan, Pamela Kort, Marsha Morton, Robert J. Richards, Gaëlle Rosendahl, Wilfried Rosendahl, Alison Smith, Michael Tellenbach, and Julia Voss. English edition, 288 pages, 280 colored illustrations, Wienand Verlag, Cologne, 2009, ISBN 978-3-87909-973-3
