{"product_id":"9783775734974","title":"Bae Bien-U: Windscape","description":"\u003cp\u003eA contemporary master of landscape photography, the influential South Korean photographer Bae Bien-U (born 1950) received international acclaim for his last monograph, \u003ci\u003eSacred Wood\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eWindscape\u003c\/i\u003e picks up where that volume left off, extending Bien-U's exploration of nature to the animating presence of the wind among forests and rivers. The gentle dynamism of Bien-U's black-and-white photographs is enhanced by their prolonged exposure, which endows them with the velvety ethereality of nineteenth-century photography (also conjuring the more recent work of Thomas Joshua Cooper). Trees and grass bend in the wind; cliffs and rocks are enveloped in sea spray and fog, and the horizon evaporates in the white-gray sky. The Korean ideogram for landscape is composed of the words \"wind\" and \"scenery,\" connoting the idea of a quintessence permeating all living things, and the neologistic title of this volume refers to this term, and to Bien-U's philosophy of landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag GmbH \u0026 Co KG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052086444272,"sku":"9783775734974","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783775734974_p0.jpg?v=1763683551","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783775734974","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
