5.0 out of 5 stars
An inspirational "must have" for metalsmiths and artists!,
By Tosca Teran (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art Forms in the Plant World: 120 Full-Page Photographs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
Karl Blossfeldt's imagery conjures up strange imaginary worlds. An absolute must have for artists searching out unusual organic forms as inspiration. Straight forward full frame B and W shots make photo copying or scanning a breeze. Gaudi, and Ernst along with the Brothers Quay come to mind.

Photos were not the quality I thought they'd be.,

This review is from: Art Forms in the Plant World: 120 Full-Page Photographs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
I was expecting crispy photos of professional quality with good levels of contrast to define edges, variation, etc. of the forms photographed. Instead most of the photos were somewhat blurry and of low-contrast, mostly grays, leaving depth to be inferred and not readable. I admit that I'm disappointed.
