1928
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
a u. c Thujopsis dolabrata; b Solanum tuberosum is a 1928 by Karl Blossfeldt, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white picture of three close-up plants. The top and bottom show long, skinny leaves in rows. The middle has two big flowers with thick petals and dark centers. Everything looks very detailed and three-dimensional. These photos aren’t painted—they’re made using a printing method called photogravure. That’s why the lines and shadows look so sharp and real. Next, check out Blossfeldt, Karl, the photographer who took these.
Karl Blossfeldt (13 June 1865 – 9 December 1932) was a German photographer and sculptor.
