For almost fifty years, trees have marked the career of Michael Kenna, a photographer known and recognised for the virtuosity of his technique.An essential link with the earth, sky, air, light, silence, and reflections, Kenna pays tribute to them by taking their portrait. Pictorial, dreamlike, graphic, romantic, hazy, poetic, the artist celebrates these great lords of nature.The photographer, a tireless wanderer, travels the world, from France to New Zealand, to the United States, criss-crossing Japan, to immortalise trees and forests.From dense woods to light-filled canopies, to tiny trees isolated in majesty within idyllic white landscapes, beauty is offered to us in the range of species photographed as much as in the variation of compositions.Exclusively in black and white, these photographs unfurl through the seasons, giving rhythm and emphasis to time.
