Design by Nature: A New Look at Antique Botanical Prints

Nature inspires us with her simplicity, her lines, and her infallible ability to amaze. Through the work of the artists collected here, I invite you to revel in form and delight in the bounty of shapes nature has designed for us. - Aaron Casey
 
The exhibit will provide a counterpoint to the French flower paintings on display concurrently at the Denver Art Museum’s summer spectacle: In Bloom.  Design by Nature encompasses images from variety of printing techniques including copper engraving, wood block printing, nature printing and photogravure.  On loan to the Denver Art Museum from the gallery for this show celebrating French flower painting are examples by Jean Louis Prevost and Pierre Joseph Redoute
