"Karl Blossfeldt is considered a pioneer of the New Objectivity in the history of photography - but fame in this arena was never his intent. A sculptor by training, he dedicated much of his life to photographing and documenting plant life. His fascination with botanical structure had more to do with a didactic theory of aesthetics than with any artistic aim. And yet his work was celebrated for its ingenuity by the foremost critics and art philosophers of his day."
