SOLUTION

Title: Pine Trees, Study 1 (Kenna, 2021)

Artist: Michael Kenna

Year: 2007

Place of origin: Wolcheon, Gangwondo, South Korea.

Michael Kenna was born in Britain, in 1953 (Palumbo, 2020). He became a renowned photographer. As in the photograph above, Kenna takes black and white photos of the landscapes. It is quite an unusual and somewhat ethereal. His photography is interesting for several reasons. Not only does he capture the images in black and white, but he also practices photography at night (Palumbo, 2020). Some of his photographs are reported to have taken an exposure of as long as 10 hours. His works seem to be of a meditative or reflective nature. Additionally, they are Zen-like and unveil a world we have never seen before (Palumbo, 2020). Please click the purchase button to access the entire copy at $5
