This is a black-and-white study of plants. The top and bottom images show long, slender leaves with pointed tips. The middle picture is a bulbous flower with a wide base and a crown of petals. The artist focused on details like veins and shapes. These images were made using a printing method called photogravure, which captures fine textures. Look up Blossfeldt, Karl to see more of his plant photography.
