Karl Blossfeldt’s “Art Forms in Nature 104” is a striking black and white photograph from 1928 depicting two poppy seed heads, one from the side and the other from a more frontal view. The starkness of the image highlights the intricate detail of the seed pods, with the intricate pattern of the seeds and the delicate texture of the petals resembling abstract forms.

This photograph exemplifies his unique ability to see art in the everyday, turning the mundane into the extraordinary.
