Hardcover. Condition: New. With his meditative landscape photographs, which have an almost calligraphic quality, Seoul-based Bae Bien-U is one of Korea's best known artists, and has influenced a generation of photographers during his many years of teaching. He first rose to prominence in his country with his series--ongoing for the past two decades--depicting pine groves, which are plentiful, as the pine is Korea's national tree, representing longevity. Beginning with a selection of images taken near Gyeongju's Silla Dynasty burial mounds, this stunning large-format volume assembles images from the entire series, which were shot exclusively in natural light, both day and night. Natural effects like fog and filtered sunlight add to the expressionistic quality of the images, which recall Western Romanticism but reflect a characteristically Korean visual vocabulary. This volume is published concurrently with an exhibition at London's Phillips de Pury & Company.…

Quer-4°, 118 S., m. zahlr. Abb., Kart in Halbschuber, Tadell. Mit Widmung des Photgraphen a. Vors.- Bae, Bien-U (*1950 in Yosu, Südkorea) wurde durch meditative Landschaftsaufnahmen von einer geradezu kalligrafischen Qualität bekannt. Seine neue Serie entstand während der letzten 20 Jahre und zeigt Landschaften in Bewegung. Bäume und Gräser biegen sich im Wind, steile Klippen und vom Wasser geformte Felsen und Steine liegen umhüllt von Gischt und Nebel in der Meeresbrandung, die Horizontlinien verschwimmen im Weißgrau des Himmels. Der koreanische wie auch der in China und Japan gebräuchliche Begriff für Landschaft setzt sich aus den Wörtern »Wind« und »Szenerie« zusammen. Er ist eng verbunden mit den traditionellen, kosmologischen Vorstellungen von einer alle lebenden Dinge durchziehenden Quintessenz, dem Äther.
