This volume studies some of Edward Burne-Joness paintings, focusing specifically on his approach to nature, both through his observations about the real, physical world and through his symbolic interpretations of earthly and celestial realms. Burne-Joness appreciation for natural formations grew from his interests in astronomy and geography, and was expanded by his aesthetic sensibility for physical and metaphysical beauty. His drawings and watercolors carefully recorded the physical world he saw around him. These studies provided the background for a collection of paintings about landscapes with flora and fauna, and ignited an artistic furor that inspired the imagery he used in his allegorical, fantasy, and dream cycles about forests, winding paths, and sweet briar roses. This study focuses on two main ideas: Burne-Joness concept of ideal and artificial or magical nature expressed and represented in his drawings and paintings, and the way in which he fused his scientific knowledge about nature with some of the symbolism in his paintings.

The Enlightenment remains widely associated with the rise of scientific progress and the loss of religious faith, a dual tendency that is thought to have contributed to the disenchantment of the world. In her wide-ranging and richly illustrated book, Tili Boon Cuillé questions the accuracy of this narrative by investigating the fate of the marvelous in the age of reason. Exploring the affinities between the natural sciences and the fine arts, Cuillé examines the representation of natural phenomena - whether harmonious or discordant - in natural history, painting, opera, and the novel from Buffon and Rameau to Ossian and Stal. She demonstrates that philosophical, artistic, and emotional responses to the 'spectacle of nature' in eighteenth-century France included wonder, enthusiasm, melancholy, and the 'sentiment of divinity.'

Les enjeux des représentations non-humaines en tant que nouveau régime de l'image, qui interroge notre propre rapport au monde. De l'art des cavernes aux jeux vidéo, des paysages vierges à l'intelligence artificielle, nous assistons à un décentrement du regard humain. Images dépeuplées d'où les humains sont refoulés, images non-humaines, laissant place lentement à un nouveau régime d'images, que l'on pourrait qualifier d'anthropofuge. Et pourtant, ces images qui fuient les traces de la civilisation pour traquer toutes les modalités de la nature nous parlent bel et bien de nous-mêmes ; elles matérialisent des aspirations et des craintes politiques absolument cruciales. Elles donnent à voir les limites du culte progressiste, elles font éclore d'autres manières d'être-au-monde, elles sont des vigies écologiques. L'avènement massif de l'image sans l'homme ne saurait être banalement le constat figé et réjoui d'un monde débarrassé de l'humain : c'est plutôt une nouvelle forme en cours d'invention, qui vient raconter le monde et dire les rapports incertains de notre espèce en son sein.

Yayoi Kusama's work is the product of an infinite curiosity and obsessive drive to create. Throughout the artist's long and varied career, there is one persistent yet little-studied through line : her deep engagement with nature. From early sketches depicting flowers at her family's plant nursery in Japan, to her most recent monumental sculptures of botanical forms poised to take flight, Kusama consistently calls our attention to the patterns, connections, and cycles of living things that are not always visible. KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature is the accompanying catalogue to the first comprehensive exploration of the artist's enduring fascination with the natural world, exhibited across the 250-acre landscape of The New York Botanical Garden. The exhibition examines her lifelong awareness and attunement to nature, which serves not merely as a source of inspiration, but is an integral source of power for her artistic language. This profound life force pervades all of Kusama's work, from studies of the molecular to contemplations of the universal, resulting in a transcendent, cosmic nature. Exhibition guest curator Mika Yoshitake, an independent scholar specializing in postwar Japanese art, and Joanna L. Groarke, NYBG exhibitions curator, catalogue co-editors, bring together essays by art historians, curators, and a scientist, who each present unique interpretations of Kusama's engagement with the natural world. Featuring more than 120 drawings, paintings, sculptures, and archival photographs, including stunning views of the works displayed in NYBG's gardens and galleries, KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature offers a new perspective on one of the world's most celebrated contemporary artists.
