This reminds me of Ernst Haeckel. I love Haeckels work, I find it to be some of the most beautiful art out there.

  Yeah that’s how they immediately struck me. I have mixed feelings about Haeckel. He was definitely a eugenicist and his ideas may have had some influence on the birth of Nazism. So as much as I’m entranced by his very beautiful renderings of life, I’d feel a bit weird hanging a print on my wall.

    Apparently Darwinism was also a huge influence on Nazism. Sometimes people get the wrong end of the stick and won't let go.

      yeah I have haeckel prints on my walls... I had no idea. But then again this makes sense because Nazism was influenced by a wide range of ideas, because it took cues directly from theosophy.
