World of Plants - Photographs by Albert Renger-Patzsch and Auriga (German, Hardcover, illustrated edition)


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.
