Like his contemporary Karl Blossfeldt, photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch (1897-1966) is known for the radiant precision and compositional elegance of his plant studies. The vintage prints (1920s) in this book represent the height of Renger-Patzsch's meticulous botanical image-making, and fill much needed chapter in the history of photography. Their rich tonal fidelity and sharp contours are also of sublime beauty in their own right.

Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Arbeitsschwerpunkt des Fotografen Albert Renger-Patzsch bildete ab 1921 Pflanzenfotografie, mit der der Künstler präzise und ungekünstelt eine exakte fotografische Klärung pflanzlicher Formen lieferte. Mit "Welt der Pflanze" sollen diese Arbeiten erstmals umfassend und in ihrem ursprünglichen Kontext gezeigt werden. Rund 120 Vintage Prints belegen das akribische Interesse Renger-Patzschs am Wesen der Pflanze. Durch das hochkarätige visuelle Material öffentlicher und privater Sammlungen, ergänzt durch Aufnahmen aus dem "Auriga"-Bildarchiv, können nun mit jenen Aufnahmen aus den ersten Schaffensjahren des "Pioniers der Neuen Sachlichkeit" Inkunabeln der Fotogeschichte in ihrem Entstehungszusammenhang vorgestellt werden. This volume presents Albert Renger-Patzsch's plant photographs. Around 120 vintage prints reveal his meticulous study of the plant world. Visual material from public and private collections plus prints from the Auriga Archive together with works from the early years of this pioneer of "Neue Sachlichkeit" provide a framework for this history of photography.
