Art Research- Karl Blossfeldt "The best constructions for industrial design had already been anticipated in nature." Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) Karl Blossfeldt was a German photographer, he concentrated his work on natural forms in black and white photography. The picture on the left is of some sea holly. I think this picture is brilliant. The way the camera looks up to the plant gives it such a commanding presence. Also the sharp edge of the plant itself make it look as if it is not natural at all but a huge metal sculpture. The background which I think looks very like overcast skies. Makes the holly stand out very well because the plant is so dark and the background is light. I think the way Blossfeldt took pictures shows that he didn't look at object like the rest of us. I love the way he makes natural objects look unnatural and abstract....
