"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."
Tellima grandiflora
“My botanical
documents should
contribute to restoring
the link with nature.
They should reawaken a
sense of nature, point to
its teeming richness of
form, and prompt the
viewer to observe for
himself the surrounding
plant world.”
Karl Blossfeldt
