About this work

This close-up shows a cluster of flowers with fuzzy centers and big, round petals. The leaves are thick and smooth. The whole scene is in black and white, with dark shadows and bright spots. The artist used a camera to make this look very detailed. Tiny textures on the petals and leaves stand out clearly. Look up Blossfeldt, Karl next to see more of his plant photos.
