Art Forms in Nature 107 1928

Karl Blossfeldt's "Art Forms in Nature 107" (1928) is a striking example of his photographic series that celebrated the beauty and abstract qualities of nature. This photo, taken using a large-format camera, showcases the elegant form of a flower bud from three different perspectives. The stark black and white contrasts highlight the intricate details, highlighting the bud's almost architectural structure. Blossfeldt's work had a significant influence on modern art and design, inspiring movements like New Objectivity and Art Deco with its focus on form and structure.
