Additional Blossfeldt photogravures are for sale in my ebay store: antique-decorative-prints
Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) photographed the flowers, buds and seed capsules of thousands of plants, all in extreme close up and in front of a neutral background. When he published his book "Art Forms and Nature" , he became famous overnight. His contemporaries were enchanted by the abstract shapes and structures in nature which he revealed to the world. Blossfeldt never actually considered himself a photographer. Rather he produced material to assist him in teaching at Berlin's Arts and Crafts School. Nature was meant to offer inspiration to future designers. Blossfeldt's work, celebrated as a pioneer achievement of New Objectivity, still has a remarkable effect on us today.
These rarely seen subtly toned black and white photogravure images are now recognized as vital contributions to the history of photography and they remain as intriguing today as they are beautiful.
