His interest in the world of plants was of an artistic and didactic nature: he was interested in the structure of plants, their organic composition, their "highest artistic form" born "out of practicality", which he wanted to make visible and comparable with the help of photography. His goal was to create a systematic catalog of forms that would serve as a textbook and sample book for artists, craftspeople and, above all, architects. At the end of the 1920s, Blossfeldt published his photographs in two books - Urformen der Kunst and Wundergarten der Natur - which had a lasting influence on the art of his time. They made their author famous overnight and went down in photo and art history as classics of their genre. Mon, 14 Sep 2026 06:08:23 +0000 Mon, 14 Sep 2026 06:08:23 +0000 https://www.ipernity.com
