Kenro Izu Bhutan

Rubin Museum has a black and white photo exhibit by Kenro Izu on Bhutan. I visited Bhutan twice and the monastries, the breathtaking views and the simplicity of the people is well captured by his lens. He also has a book out with all the images from the exhibit. They also have two floors on the Bon faith.

If you want to see more of his photos see here.

After years of pilgrimage to sacred landscapes and spiritual monuments, the photographer Kenro Izu has turned his masterful lens to the sacred within. Bhutan, the Sacred Within is his final work in a trilogy on this theme, and the second to be premiered at the Rubin Museum of Art. Izu takes the people of Bhutan and their particular blending of an indigenous religion and Buddhist thought as his subject. The meticulously crafted portraits he has made express the purity of those beliefs and their resonance in the larger world of today.
