About the Item
Blossfeldt holds a singular place in photography for his depictions of plant and flower life in black and white. He photographs them in such a way that the flower forms feel as solid as iron, creating an interesting visual play in this respect. This image is one of his desirable forms. They make for wonderful works to put into contemporary or traditional environments and rooms.

Karl Blossfeldt
Karl Blossfeldt was a German photographer, sculptor, teacher and artist who worked in Berlin, Germany. He is best known for his close-up photographs of plants and living things, published in 1929 as Urformen der Kunst. Blossfeldt was inspired, as was his father, by nature and how plants grow. He believed that "the plant must be valued as an artistic and architectural structure." Among his students at the Berlin Arts and Crafts School was Heinz Warneke. From 1924, Blossfeldt was a professor at the Vereinigte Staatsschulen für freie und angewandete Kunst (United States School for Fine and Applied Art) in Berlin, Germany.
