My botanical documents should contribute to restoring the link with nature. They should reawaken a sense of nature, point to its teeming richness of form, and prompt the viewer to observe for himself the surrounding plant world. ~ Karl Blossfeldt

Karl Blossfeldt's photographs were made with a homemade camera that could magnify the subject up to 30 times its actual size, revealing details within a plant's natural structure.
Published in 1928 when Blossfeldt was 63 and a professor of applied art at the Berliner Kunsthochschule, "Urformen der Kunst" quickly became an international bestseller and in turn made Blossfeldt famous almost overnight.
His contemporaries were impressed by the
