About the Item

Line of Trees features 13 trees standing in a row against a white background. Most of the trees are smaller, with dense branches, creating a silhouette against the snowy landscape. One tree stands out, slightly taller and more sparse, revealing the details of the branches. Line of Trees, Biei, Hokkaido, Japan by Michael Kenna is an 8 x 7.75-inch sepia-toned gelatin silver print, available in an edition of 25. This print is mounted onto a 20 x 16 inch mat board with an overmat. This print is signed, titled, negative date, print date, and numbered by Michael Kenna. Michael Kenna's black and white photographs are powerful and alluring. His imagery transports you to iconic and placid landscapes where you can gaze in solitude. Because Kenna makes such long exposures, often minutes or sometimes hours long, the landscape presents itself as something that cannot be seen with the naked eye, abstracting reality. This is a trademark of his work for which he has become legendary. Michael Kenna's photographs are housed in over 100 museum and institution collections throughout the world, including the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, George Eastman House, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Musée national d'Art modern, Paris, San Francisco Modern Art Museum, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. He has received several awards including an Honorary Master of Arts from Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, and the Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters from the Ministry of Culture, France.
