The exhibition traces the history of nature’s place in the field of art and design.
From the beginning of the 20th century, nature influenced design in the representation of artistic forms: it is biomorphism.
The exhibition traces the history of nature’s place in the field of art and design, through key works from the Centre Pompidou’s collection, which are anchored both in modernity (in Europe, Japan and the United States) and in contemporary prospective design.
Today, artists are no longer content to imitate nature, they integrate the living in their conceptions. It is a profound change in the concept of nature that is being questioned.
