Art Forms In Nature: Second Series. Examples from the Plant World Photographed Direct from Nature.

Descripción

First UK edition, first impression, of the second of Blossfeldt's seminal trilogy. It was originally published earlier the same year in Berlin under the title Wundergarten der Natur; neue Bilddokumente schöner Pflanzenformen. The artist was by training a botanist; his use of extreme close-up technique began as part of his study. However he swiftly developed a fully fledged abstracted aesthetic which found a ready audience around the world. Many subsequent photographers cite his books as a key influence on their work. Folio. 120 photogravures. Original blue-green cloth, device and titles to front board gilt, titles to spine gilt. With the photographic dust jacket. Contemporary owner's name and address in pen to front free endpaper otherwise near fine, dust jacket toned and chipped to corners, small private library label to foot of spine.
