Published to accompany the exhibition: Against Nature 7 February - 4 May 2008. Figures drawn from classical mythology - sphinxes, chimeras and centaurs - were the stock subjects of late 19th century Salon exhibitions. Meanwhile, outside the gallery, the pressures of industrialisation and of Darwin’s theory of evolution provided compelling new contexts for the hybrid. To say that sculpture was ‘against nature’ at this time is to suggest two lines of enquiry: firstly that sculpture could create impossible beings that went beyond the natural order, but which evolution could potentially deliver; secondly, that sculpture presents absurd fantasy creatures by means of realistic modelling so as to suggest their ‘real life’ existence. This publication is by the Henry Moore Institute in association with the Sculptuur Instituut, Scheveningen and the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus, Bremen. Preface by Penelope Curtis. Picture Essay by Stephen Feeke and Ellen Tait. Essays by Jon Wood and Arie Hartog. This catalogue is divided into English, Dutch and German language sections.
