Over more than 30 years, he took thousands of photographs, revealing a formally rigorous talent whose precision and dedication bridge the\u00a019th- and 20th-century worlds of image-making and bring a distinctly sculptural aspect to a firmly two-dimensional art form.<\/p>\n<p>Beautifully but starkly composed against plain cardboard backgrounds, Blossfeldt\u2019s images, relying on a northern light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the man but everything of themselves. They are\u00a0still lifes, piercingly final statements on their subject, and have endured owing to their aesthetics and the ongoing fascination of students and photographers.
