The story and images that explain how Karl Blossfeldt's plant photography was disseminated in the popular media of his time, from pattern books to magazine spreads. Karl Blossfeldt: Variations is the first monograph to examine the reception of Blossfeldt’s work. The six sections of the book trace the paths that Blossfeldt’s legendary plant motifs took in their incarnations as specimens, illustrations, patterns, analogues, models and abstractions from 1890 to 1945. 

Beautifully colored binding.
