Biomorphic art, from 'bios' (life) and 'morphe' (form), relates to abstract shapes or images that resemble naturally occurring forms, such body parts.
'Biomorphism' is derived from the Greek words 'bio,' meaning life, and 'morphe,' meaning form. Importantly, it doesn't denote a 'life form' but rather signifies the inclination to manifest the appearance or characteristics of a living entity. Despite its scientific sound, the term was initially used to describe biomorphic art in the context of the Cubism and Abstract Art exhibition of 1936 at MoMA.
