Karl Blossfeldt was a German photographer known for close-up images of plants that reveal nature’s intricate patterns and beauty. His work blends science and art, inspiring design through natural forms. Today, his photographs are celebrated and enjoyed as art prints, and bring nature’s elegance into homes.
Born in 1865 in Schielo, Germany, Karl Blossfeldt initially trained as a sculptor and taught at the Berlin Arts and Crafts School. His interest in nature as an inspiration for design led him to create detailed photographs of plants and flowers, revealing their complex structures. These photographs, published in his seminal work Urformen der Kunst (Art Forms in Nature), captured the essence of natural design. Art prints of Blossfeldt’s work continue to fascinate with their precision and beauty.

Nature as Architecture
Blossfeldt’s photographs emphasized the sculptural and architectural qualities of plants, showcasing their forms as if they were pieces of art. His unique approach treated each leaf, stem, and bud as an example of natural design perfection, highlighting their potential as inspiration for art and architecture. Art prints of his works remain popular for their ability to bring a sense of structure and wonder into any space.
A Pioneer in Botanical Photography
Blossfeldt’s work was groundbreaking in the field of botanical photography, as he used custom-made cameras that allowed him to magnify plant details. This level of magnification revealed patterns and textures that were often overlooked, offering viewers a new perspective on the natural world. Today, art prints of his work continue to be celebrated for their detailed and educational qualities.

Very reliable company with quality products and great customer care. Art prints are a little pricier compared to budget Art prints companies but worth every penny, the difference in quality still gives great value for money.

The whole process of ordering and receiving the art prints was great. The choice of art prints is enormous and it took us while to find the right one. We are very happy with our choice. The quality of the print is outstanding.

Beautiful art! Got one piece at a market in Berlin, then decided to get two more from the same collection to put on a big white wall in my bedroom. Shipping to Canada was smooth and faster than I expected.

My order was easily placed and quickly delivered, outside of Germany. The Art prints are of a fantastic quality. This was the second time I ordered from Kuriosis and both times were a very good experience

This is my second time ordering from here and the service and quality are second to none. I have ordered posters from other companies and their quality is no where near as good as Kuriosis. Also the postage is very quick.
