Minor White, manifestations of the spirit

the long version

Controversial, misunderstood, and sometimes overlooked, Minor White is one of the great photographers of the twentieth century. He believed in the power of photography as a medium for spiritual transformation and created images charged with symbolism. Over the course of his long career, White's work-not only as photographer, but also as teacher, editor, critic, and curator-has influenced an entire generation of artists. This beautifully illustrated tribute includes a rich selection of more than 160 of White's photographs, some published here for the first time.
