The source for the poster comes from the work Nature’s Art Forms (1899-1904) by the German zoologist Ernst Haeckel. Haeckel’s work is a peculiar mixture of scientific investigation, speculation and artistic creation. Today, we know him especially for his beautiful drawings of single-celled organisms, fungi, plants and animals, where he artfully idealizes the symmetrical forms of nature. OCEAN is the big Louisiana event of the season. A journey of discovery above and below the surface, where history and the present meet in an intersection between art and science. We know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the oceans that cover more than 70% of our own planet.
