Nabokov's Notebook

Nabokov's Notebook A blog about the science in art and the art in science.
"I discovered in nature the nonutilitarian delights that I sought in art. Both were a form of magic, both were a game of intricate enchantment and deception." -Vladimir Nabokov (Writer, Lepidopterist.)

A tribute to Nabokov today:

Eiji Watanabe cut butterflies from the pages of field guides and pinned them to the walls of a room for his piece A Butterfly’s Eye View.
