A Set Of Five German Botanical Photographic Prints By Karl Blossfeldt

£500

Germany, circa 1930 A set of five black and white photographic prints by Karl Blossfeldt, each capturing a macro botanical composition of flowers, ferns and thistles. N.B. The prints are currently unframed, but I can assist with this process if required. Blossfeldt (1865-1932) was a pioneering German photographer who came to prominence in the 1920s. A trained sculptor, draughtsman and teacher, he created exquisitely beautiful, close-up photographs of plants. Celebrated internationally for his significant contribution to the field of art and nature, Blossfeldt is regarded as one of the defining photographers of the twentieth century. He was committed to the study of form within nature and dedicated 35 years to exclusively photographing botanical subject matter. Developing a series of homemade cameras that allowed him to photograph plant surfaces in magnified detail, his stark, objective approach emphasised the detailed beauty of nature.
