This picture shows a cluster of bare branches with small buds on the ends. The lines twist and bend in different directions. The whole thing is in black and white, almost like a sketch. Notice how the branches look both rough and delicate at the same time. The artist used a printing method that makes the lines look sharp and clear. Look up Blossfeldt, Karl next to see more of his strange and beautiful plant photos.
