Karl Blossfeldt - Definition

Karl Blossfeldt (18651932) was a German photographer, sculptor, and teacher.

The 1928 publication of Urformen der Kunst (Archetypes of Art), a stunning collection of extreme closeup photos of plants, earned Blossfeldt a place as a pioneer in the New Objectivity art movement. This was followed up with Wundergarten Der Natur (Magic Garden of Nature), which was published in the year he died, 1932.
