The exhibition "Forms of Nature" presents twenty privately owned ceramic works by Henry van de Velde.
The presentation highlights his interest in natural forms and underlines the influence that the naturalist Ernst Haeckel
had on the new designs of the Jugendstil period. Flowers, shells and insects were always a source of inspiration for the
Belgian art reformer Henry van de Velde. In Van de Velde's vases, for example, one can recognise jellyfish or octopuses,
which are jellyfish or octopuses, while his vegetal ornamentation is reminiscent of abstract flowers.
