About the book: From bats to lichens, from lizards to cube jellyfish, from spider legs to microbes from the depths of the oceans: the artist, philosopher, doctor and marine researcher Ernst Haeckel discovered the beauty of life even in the smallest creatures in the 19th century. A collection of over 450 of his most beautiful plates.

Biography: Julia Voss received her doctorate on visual forms of representation in the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin. Until 2017, she headed the art department of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and was head of the Feuilleton. She is an honorary professor at Leuphana University Lüneburg. Her research interests include the history of abstraction, restitution and provenance, as well as the connections between evolutionary theory and culture. Rainer Willmann is a professor of zoology at the University of Göttingen and director of the Zoological Museum there. His main scientific interests lie in the fields of phylogenetic research and evolution, as well as in biodiversity research and its history. He is a co-founder of the Center for Biodiversity Research and Ecology at the University of Göttingen.

The Book of Colour Concepts "Farbenlehre" Goethe's theory of colours I. THEORETICAL PART Introduction to the Concept of Colour The subject of this work is the phenomenon of colour. It is not our intention to investigate the physical causes of colour. The phenomena of colour are therefore to be considered here in their entirety. THEORY OF COLOURS I. General Phenomena of Colour 1. The appearance of colours. In what circumstances do colours appear? Colours appear when light, under certain conditions, is affected by something else. In this case, two kinds of phenomena are to be distinguished: a) Light itself is the cause of colour. b) Light is the cause of colour, but something else is also at play. 2. The relationship between light and darkness. Light and darkness are not opposites. They are not to be understood as mutually exclusive. Rather, they are to be understood as intensifying each other. 3. Colour and the eye. The eye is the organ for colour. It is not possible to imagine colour without the eye. II. POLARITY The fundamental principle of all phenomena is polarity. This means that there are always two opposing forces at play. These forces are in a state of constant tension. This tension is what creates the phenomena. 1. Light and darkness as poles. Light and darkness are the primary poles. They are the basis of all other polarities. 2. Colour as a result of polarity. Colour arises from the interaction of light and darkness. The more intense the light, the more intense the colour. The more intense the darkness, the more intense the colour. 3. The spectrum. The spectrum is the visible manifestation of this polarity. It is a continuous gradation of colours. III. INTENSIFICATION The intensification of colours is a crucial aspect of colour perception. Colours are not static. They are dynamic. They change and evolve. 1. Through proximity. Colours intensify each other through proximity. A bright colour next to a dark colour will appear brighter. A dark colour next to a bright colour will appear darker. 2. Through contrast. Colours intensify each other through contrast. Complementary colours create the strongest contrast. 3. Through duration. Colours can intensify over time. This is particularly true of afterimages. IV. SYMPATHETIC AND ANTAGONISTIC EFFECTS Colours have psychological effects on us. These effects can be sympathetic or antagonistic. 1. Sympathetic effects. Certain colours evoke positive emotions. They are calming and harmonious. Examples: blue, green. 2. Antagonistic effects. Certain colours evoke negative emotions. They are jarring and unsettling. Examples: red, yellow. V. THE EMOTIONAL EFFECT OF COLOURS Colours have a profound impact on our emotional state. They can uplift or depress us. They can excite or calm us. 1. The calming effect of blue. Blue is associated with peace and tranquility. It is a cool colour. 2. The exciting effect of red. Red is associated with passion and energy. It is a warm colour. 3. The cheerful effect of yellow. Yellow is associated with happiness and optimism. It is a warm colour. PRACTICAL PART I. APPLICATION OF COLOUR THEORY The principles of colour theory can be applied in many fields. 1. Art and design. Artists and designers use colour to create mood and evoke emotion. 2. Architecture. Colour can be used to influence the perception of space. 3. Psychology. Colour therapy is a field that uses colour to treat psychological conditions. II. THE USE OF COLOUR IN PAINTING Colour is a fundamental element of painting. 1. Mixing colours. Understanding colour mixing is essential for painters. 2. Creating light and shadow. Colour can be used to create the illusion of light and shadow. 3. Evoking emotion. Painters use colour to evoke a wide range of emotions in their viewers. III. THE USE OF COLOUR IN ARCHITECTURE Colour plays a significant role in the design of buildings. 1. Creating atmosphere. Colour can be used to create a specific atmosphere or mood within a space. 2. Influencing perception. Colour can alter our perception of the size and shape of a room. 3. Symbolism. Colours often carry symbolic meanings in architecture. IV. THE USE OF COLOUR IN PSYCHOLOGY Colour therapy is a recognized field of practice. 1. Treating depression. Certain colours are used to alleviate symptoms of depression. 2. Reducing anxiety. Colours can be used to
