Description
Minor White's photographic career was marked by controversy and innovation. From his early work with the WPA in 1938 to his later exploration of symbolism and equivalency, White's ideas had a profound impact on generations of photographers. This book brings together key aspects of White's life, including his artistic growth, teaching, and editorial work at Aperture, alongside insightful quotations from his journals. The result is a narrative that explores White's spiritual search, struggles with self-doubt, and the evolution of his artistic philosophy. The book is accompanied by over 160 images, including some previously unpublished works, and marks the first major exhibition of White's work since 1989.
