TRANSCRIPT
This extensive collection of plant portraits reveals unexpected shapes and
patterns in nature. Karl Blossfeldt (b. 1865, d. 1932 in Germany) took
photographs that showcase both scientific precision as well as an artist’s eye
for composition, and this unique mix became a great success within modern
art and photography. He designed his own cameras that allowed him to photo-
graph nature through a looking glass, and his images combined the styles of
both Art Noveau and Modernism. Blossfeldt taught sculpting for most of his
life, and his photo collection was first and foremost used to teach his students
about the patterns of nature, but after his work had been exhibited in Berlin in
1926, the teacher became an artist. Two years later the book Urformen der Kunst
was published, and it came to be one of the most influential and signi ficant
photobooks of the 20th century.
In collaboration with the Karl Blossfeldt Foundation in Münich, Germany,
we have had access to the true originals of these unique photographs. We have
produced a series of high quality fine art prints that are as close as possible
to the original artwork. We present a selection of art prints, greeting cards,
notebooks and gift tags that can be used in your home or as a perfect gift.
