Examining the complex intersections between art and scientific
approaches to the natural world, Biocentrism and Modernism reveals
another side to the development of Modernism. While many historians
have framed this movement as being mechanistic and "against"
nature, the essays in this collection illuminate the role that
nature-centric ideologies played in late-nineteenth to
mid-twentieth-century Modernism. The essays in Biocentrism and
Modernism contend that it is no accident that Modernism arose at
the same time as the field of modern biology. From
nineteenth-century discoveries, to the emergence of the current
environmentalist movement during the 1960s, artists, architects,
and urban planners have responded to currents in the scientific
world. Sections of the volume treat both philosophic worldviews and
their applications in theory, historiography, and urban design.
This collection also features specific case studies of individual
artists, including Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Paul Klee, Wassily
Kandinsky, and Jackson Pollock.
