This is a close-up of a single flower. The petals are soft and white, with a few dark lines running down the middle. The stem splits into thick, dark leaves at the bottom. The whole thing looks a little fuzzy, like it was drawn with a rough pencil. The artist used a printing trick to make the flower look almost real. The dark background makes the white petals stand out even more. Want to see more? Look up Blossfeldt, Karl.
