What does it actually mean to `imitate nature?' Framed by this question, this book traces the paradigmatic connections between aesthetic practices, image theory, and our understanding of nature. A focus is placed on castings of natural objects and fossils, as well as drawing and the use of perspective. Comparing these objects, the author offers new insights into the problems of form, highlighting interactions between art and nature.
