Many other people created cyanotypes but someone in particular Floris Neusüss created some images as well. He thinks that art must be visually interested, he carried photogram out of his library. Floris says a photogram is not a reduced print, it is a contact picture. Floris knows that there is art that speaks to him and there is art that doesn't speak to him. Floris has done so many artwork here are some of his artwork.
