Throughout the fifty years that Michael Kenna has dedicated to photography, he has never been concerned with fashions, tirelessly dedicated to the creation of images of landscapes, most of them placid, proposed by triangles of silver salts (about 20 by 20 cm) which are always positive by the same photographer.
Kenna does not sail against the tide, but follows his own logic, his own instinct, without worrying about trends or the dictates of the art market. This fact has not prevented him – quite the contrary – from being internationally recognized, appreciated, exhibited, published, and collected. Although he presents himself as an “aberration”, his work is by no means misunderstood or undervalued.
