SUMMARY:Author Reception | Darwin and the Art of Botany at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:Join us at one of Highlands’ many beautiful homes for this presentation and author reception for Highlands’ own Dr. Jim Costa! From finches and tortoises to barnacles and pigeons\, Charles Darwin is most often associated with the iconic animals that he studied\, but in fact a larger part of his contribution to the natural sciences is based on plants. \nDarwin’s botanical observations and experiments are crucial to our modern understanding of so much about plant biology\, from pollination to plant carnivory to the way that vines climb. To help modern audiences better appreciate Darwin’s botany as well as the rich tradition of botanical art\, Dr. Costa teamed up with his friend\, the botanical artist Bobbi Angell (www.bobbiangell.com/)\, to produce Darwin and the Art of Botany: Observations on the Curious World of Plants. A celebration of Darwin’s often overlooked botanical enthusiasms\, the book spotlights 45 fascinating plants studied by Darwin\, each illustrated with beautiful and historically significant botanical artwork that Bobbi curated from the Library at the Oak Spring Garden Foundation in Upperville\, Virginia. \nThis “arts and sciences” course will inspire a new appreciation for Darwin’s creative botanical investigations and the ways in which plants helped shape our understanding of the world around us\, as well as the history of botanical art and illustration. \nFavorites Count: 0
