Karl Blossfeldt: The Complete Published Work (Taschen 25th Anniversary)

by: Hans-Christian Adam
Ragnar Naess, a wonderful ceramic artist, turned me on to this book, saying Blossfeldt has long been an inspiration. These black and white prints, intense close-ups of buds, leaves, flowers, seed pods and other botanical elements are exquisite. They leave you delighted by nature's diversity and perfect designs. This book is a treasure.

Karl Blossfeldt: The Alphabet of Plants

by: Gert Mattenklott
Form is highly mimetic in nature. A limited number of what might be called prototypical patterns find their way into an infinite number of fomal structures. For example, it is apparent upon close inspection that branching patterns of trees (best seen in winter, of course) eerily resemble arterial branching patterns of the heart as revealed by cardiologic angiography. Despite divergent functionality of the two systems, the formal architecture is almost identical! This is no accident of nature, to be sure.

Karl Blossfeldt: Working Collages

If you're a student of Edward Tufte's work on small multiples, this is a great book. By comparing lots of fairly similar things within one visual field, one can learn a lot. That's a Tufte insight and this book shows that Blossfeldt was taking advantage of the idea 75 years ago. This book is also good for those who appreciate the beauty of contact sheets and the photo editing process. The book makes a great gift due to its unusual nature and extremely high printing quality.
