Karl Blossfeldt Urformen der Kunst (Art Forms in Nature) 102. in 1928.

[beyourselfchulanmaria]

" I…go on my bicycle or by train out into the environs of Berlin. And if…I find an interesting plant…then I am obliged for the next three or four months to make virtually daily expeditions to that spot in order to search again and again for that same plant. " ─ Karl Blossfeldt (German, 1865-1932)

He is best known for his close-up photographs of plants and living things, published in 1929 as Urformen der Kunst. He was inspired, as was his father, by nature and the ways in which plants grow.

Blossfeldt’s photography career began when he was photographing botanical specimens for Moritz Meurer. Blossfeldt later continued to develop his skillset, and his collection of photographs, while he was working as a professor. The photographs he took for Moritz Meurer and during his teaching years were used as reference photographs for his personal work and for his teaching purposes. He kept a detailed log of the common and scientific names of every specimen that he photographed, and eventually produced roughly 6,000 photographs.

It wasn't until Blossfeldt was in his 60s that his photographs began to receive recognition for their artistic value, as opposed to their functionality as references. This recognition began in 1925 when art gallerist Karl Neirendorf first began representing Blossfeldt. With the help of Niernedorf, Blossfeldt's first monograph Urformen der Kunst was published in 1928. Urformen der Kunst gained overnight success and recognition. This segued into Blossfedlt's rise in fame that eventually lead to his second publication Wundergarten der Natur. Despite Blossfeldt's lack of professional training his work as a photographer, photography is what he is best known for.

Karl Blossfeldt

Karl Blossfeldt (1865 - 1932) was a German photographer, sculptor, teacher, and artist who worked in Berlin, Germany. He is best known for his close-up photographs of plants and living things, published in 1929 as Urformen der Kunst.

Born in Schiele, Harz, Germany, he worked as an apprentice in an artistic form of iron casting at the iron foundry in Mägdesprung between 1881 and 1883 and studied art at the Institute of Royal Arts and Museum (later named College of Fine Arts, or Hochschule für Bildende Künste) in Berlin between 1884 and 1890. In 1890-1896 he participated in a project in Italy, run by Moritz Meurer, collecting plant material for drawing classes. During this period Blossfeldt started systematically documenting plant samples photographically. Some of his photographs appear in Meurer’s publications at the turn of the century. He started teaching at the Institute of Royal Arts and Crafts Museum in Berlin in 1898, and continued working there as a professor from 1921 until 1930. His first exhibition was held in 1926 at the Nierendorf Gallery in Berlin; and published the book Urformen der Kunst.

Karl Blossfeldt was a German photographer, sculptor, teacher, and artist who worked in Berlin. He is best known for his close-up photographs of plants and living things.

This inspired me to test out shooting just blossom from the apple trees, close up, I will do a shoot later on this subject.

Karl Blossfeldt, Oriental poppy. 

Karl Blossfeldt, (1865 - 1932), German photographer known for his stark close-up portraits of plants, twigs, seeds, leaves, and other flora.In 1881 Blossfeldt began his studies as an apprentice at the Art Ironworks and Foundry in Mägdesprung, Germany, where he studied sculpture and iron casting. He then moved to Berlin to study at the School of the Museum of Decorative Arts (Kunstgewerbemuseum). 

In 1890 Blossfeldt received a scholarship to study in Rome under Moritz Meurer, a decorative artist and professor of ornament and design. Along with several other assistants, Blossfeldt created and photographed casts of botanical specimens in and around Rome. He continued to work with Meurer through 1896 and traveled beyond Italy to North Africa and Greece to collect specimens. Beginning in 1898 Blossfeldt taught design at the School of the Museum of Decorative Arts (Kunstgewerbeschule), and in 1930 he became professor emeritus. There he established a plant photography archive that he used to teach his students about design and patterns found in nature.

Blossfeldt had no formal training as a photographer and used homemade cameras that he outfitted with lenses capable of magnifying his subjects up to 30 times their natural size. The use of magnification resulted in images of extreme detail and clarity. With the precision of a botanist, Blossfeldt photographed the natural world for scientific and pedagogical purposes and inadvertently became a modern artist. His work was considered the forerunner to Neue Sachlichkeit photography, which favoured sharply focused documentarian images. In 1926, when Blossfeldt was already in his 60s, his work was exhibited to the public for the first time at Berlin’s avant-garde Galerie Nierendorf.

The works exhibited there were published in the book Urformen der Kunst (1928; Art Forms in Nature [2003]). The first of his three photo books (the other two were Wundergarten der Natur, 1932; and Wunder in der Natur, 1942, the last published posthumously), it was enormously successful and remains one of the most-significant photo books of the 20th century.

. Simply can’t get enough of these... . . . . The Blossfeldt BOMB... . . 1928 Botanical study by German sculpture instructor, Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932). From portfolio Urformen der Kunst, these photos were taken with a homemade camera that magnified the subject up to 30X its actual size. Printing on silver gelatin was not satisfactory for Blossfeldt, as he believed that the images lost much of their detail, so he used the Photogravure process; using a copper plate, a light-sensitive gelatin tissue, and etching. This particular print was made in 1928 and printed on delicate paper. This is NOT a reprint. Framed in BLACK wooden frame. READY TO HANG. Mounted on/behind acid-free archival white matte board.
