This article discusses the most characteristic strategies employed by the Dutch artist Herman de Vries in his mature works. Starting with his pavilion design for the 2015 Venice Biennale, the text presents step by step how the artist has managed to combine his artistic activity with his passion as a nature explorer. It also outlines his journey from his early works (inspired for example by informalism) to the contemporary ones that draw on the aesthetics of the natural environment. It shows his evolution from an interest in pure geometric forms to a fascination with the forms of nature, perhaps most evident in de Vries’ spectacular collection of geological and biological objects also present in most of his compositions. The author studies the artist’s archive through the context of the Anthropocene museum, offering its critical analysis and highlighting its different function both in art and modern science.
