Karl Blossfeldt

Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) was a German self-taught in photography, he devoted himself to the study of nature, photographing nothing but flowers, buds and seed capsules. "The plant never lapses into mere arid functionalism; it fashions and shapes according to logic and suitability, and with its primeval force compels everything to attain the highest artistic form."
