Works by Prosek and others are juxtaposed with natural objects in
an illuminating interrogation of the artificial boundaries we
create between art and nature Award-winning artist, writer, and
naturalist James Prosek (b. 1975) has gained a worldwide following
for his deep connection with the natural world, which serves as the
basis for his art and numerous popular books. In this
cross-disciplinary catalogue, Prosek poses the question, What is
art and what is artifact-and to what extent do these distinctions
matter? Drawing on the collections of the Yale University Art
Gallery and the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, Prosek
places man- and nature-made objects on equal footing aesthetically,
suggesting that the distinction between them is not as vast as we
may believe. In more than 150 full-color plates, objects such as a
bird's nest, dinosaur head, and cuneiform tablet are juxtaposed
with Asian handscrolls, an African headdress, modern masterpieces,
and more. Artists featured include Albrecht Durer, Helen
Frankenthaler, Vincent van Gogh, Barbara Hepworth, Pablo Picasso,
and Jackson Pollack, as well as Prosek himself, whose works depict
fish, birds, and endangered wildlife. Also included are an incisive
essay by Edith Devaney and texts by Prosek that explore the
magnificent productions of our wondrous interconnected world.
