Description
Michael Kenna's photographs of Buddha statues offer a serene and contemplative escape from the chaos of modern life. Celebrated for his evocative black-and-white landscapes, Michael Kenna has traveled to Asia to capture images of the Buddha in various settings, from temples to private homes. These quiet and striking images showcase the intricate interplay of light and shadow, line and form, in the dark tones of Kenna's photography. The book also includes a selection of his Asian landscape work, an essay on Buddhism, and excerpts from Buddhist scriptures, providing a deeper understanding of the Buddha's significance and message. Fans of Kenna's distinctive style will appreciate this collection of photographs, while those drawn to the Buddha's teachings will find inspiration in this photographic journey towards enlightenment.
