Albert Renger-Patzch (1897-1966) is known for the precision of his work with images that range from industrial machinery to pastoral landscapes. His aesthetic was modern yet formally composed.

The subject of this photo is a decoratively trimmed hedgerow in the gardens of the Warburg estate in Hamburg, Germany [confiscated by the Third Reich in 1938 and now open to the public.]
