This is a black-and-white study of plants. The top and bottom show rows of small leaves, pressed flat and lined up like coins. The middle has two star-shaped flowers with thin, sharp petals and dark centers. These images are actually photos turned into prints. The artist focused on how plants look up close, almost like science drawings. Look up Blossfeldt, Karl to see more of his plant photos.
