Biomorphism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Biomorphism was an art movement of the 20th century. The term was first used by Alfred H. Barr, Jr. in 1936. Biomorphist artists focused on the power of natural life and used organic shapes, with hints of the shapeless and vaguely spherical forms of biology. It has connections with Surrealism and Art Nouveau. Nowadays the effect of the influence of nature isn’t as obvious, instead of objects looking exactly like the natural form they only use slight characteristics to remind us of nature.
