Karl Blossfeldt was a German photographer, sculptor, teacher and artist who worked in Berlin, Germany. He is best known for his close-up photographs of plants and living things, published in 1929 as Urformen der Kunst. Blossfeldt was inspired, as was his father, by nature and how plants grow. He believed that "the plant must be valued as an artistic and architectural structure." Among his students at the Berlin Arts and Crafts School was Heinz Warneke. From 1924, Blossfeldt was a professor at the Vereinigte Staatsschulen für freie und angewandete Kunst (United States School for Fine and Applied Art) in Berlin, Germany.

His photography takes delicate plant life and presents them in a form to be appreciated at a whole different level. Often the plant forms or flowers take on an iron like strength and resilient form to be appreciated purely on an artistic level.
