Karl Blossfeldt's meticulous studies of plants reveal the intricate structures, patterns and geometries found in nature. Originally conceived as teaching material for his students at the Berlin School of Applied Arts, his photographs gained wider recognition with the publication of Urformen der Kunst in 1928. Through close-up views and neutral backgrounds, Blossfeldt transformed botanical specimens into sculptural forms, bridging the fields of photography, art and design. The present portfolio was published by Griffelkunst in 2010, using the original negatives.
