	University Art Gallery
		Karl Blossfeldt had taken photographs for more than thirty years, but only used them in his teaching.
		As a photographer, Blossfeldt gives us access to a realm that is often too small for the naked eye, while carefully selecting plant parts, that when enlarged, seem to give access to an unknown and mysterious realm of beauty.
		Although it is believed that Blossfeldt took thousands of photographs, only a couple of hundred are known today, and his fame is not based on the original photographs, but on the photogravures published in the books.

	The Zymoglyphic Museum Curator's Web Log: Karl Blossfeldt
		Neva Beach has graciously donated to the museum 13 prints from the 1929 edition of Karl Blossfeldt's Urformen der Kunst, along with a nice assortment of rusty metal and gnarly driftwood.
		Blossfeldt is featured in the museum's Photographers of the Marvelous online exhibit.
		Blossfeldt's photography has been an inspiration to the museum's staff photographer, who envies Blossfeldt's ability to give a monumental, architectural presence to small scale natural objects - a major goal in photographing, for example, the museum's small dioramas and viewing stones.

		Biography: Karl Blossfeldt was a botanist and photographer in turn-of-the-century Berlin.
		His entire photographic output is devoted to plant parts: twig ends, seed pods, tendrils, leaf buds, etc. These he meticulously arranged against stark backgrounds and photographed in magnification, so that unfamiliar shapes from the messy vegetal world are revealed as startling, elegant architectural forms.
		Much like Andreas Feininger, Blossfeldt was deeply interested in forms and textures that nature uses over and over again, especially at scales not often noticed by the eye.

		Karl Blossfeldt: The Alphabet Of Plants is a survey of some basic forms in nature.
		Its premise, as articulated in an introductory essay by Gert Mattenklott, is that "the architectonics of the modern age are built upon archaic, elemental forces.
		Indeed, Blossfeldt was a sculptor by training and so the primacy and importance of form in his photography need hardly surprise us.

	Karl Blossfeldt - Lisa Sette Gallery
		Concentrating on the parallels between natural forms and the emerging industrial surroundings of his home in Berlin, Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932), although primarily a professor of art and sculpture, began to assemble an archive of plant photographs.
		Drawing from plant species from different corners of Europe, Blossfeldt photographed form and texture while carefully recording different stages of growth and maturity.
		It wasn't until 1925 that his archive was placed within "New Objectivity", a movement within photography abandoning the more traditional impressionistic styles for straightforward purist photography.

		A serious man who earned his living as a teacher, Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) seems an unlikely candidate for aesthetic canonization.
		Beautifully but starkly composed against plain cardboard backgrounds, Blossfeldt's images, relying on a northern light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the man but everything of themselves.
		They are still-lifes, piercingly final statements on their subject, and have endured owing to their technical brilliance and the ongoing fascination of students and photographers.
