1928
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
a Tragopogon porrifolius; b Muscari racemosum; c Thujopsis dolabrata is a 1928 by Karl Blossfeldt, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows three close-up black-and-white photos of plant parts. The top is a hand holding a flower bud with a spiky, closed shape. The middle is a cluster of small, round bulbs packed tightly together. The bottom is a branch with thin, sharp leaves fanning out. These aren’t paintings—they’re photos turned into prints. The artist focused on how plants look up close, almost like science drawings. Next, check out Blossfeldt, Karl to see more of his plant-focused work.
Karl Blossfeldt (13 June 1865 – 9 December 1932) was a German photographer and sculptor.
