Photo book "Die Welt der Pflnaze" by Albert Renger-Patsch. At the beginning of the 20th century, mainly in Germany in the 1910s, expressionism and pictorialism, which aimed to express the inner thoughts and quests of the individual and attempted to subjectively express emotions, flourished. However, in the 1920s, the art movement of "Neue Sacherichkeit (New Physicalism)", which tried to express things in a materialistic way, with an objective, calm and inhuman gaze, became popular. . Famous proponents of it in the field of photography are August Sander for portraits, Karl Blosfeld for plants, and Albert Renger-Patsch for still lifes. This book has the same title as "Die Welt der Pflanze (The world of plants)", a photo book of plants published by Patch in 1924, but the number and composition are different from the original version. Re-edited with 74 illustrations (41 originals) taken from the early 1920s to 1930. The text is in German.
