Blossfeldt was a well-known artist, teacher, sculptor and photographer; best known for his closeup photographs of plant life.
Blossfeldt believed that 'The plant must be valued as a totally artistic and architectural structure.'

It was his firm belief that only through the close study of the intrinsic beauty present in natural forms that contemporary art would find its true direction.
