Controversial, misunderstood, and sometimes overlooked, Minor White (1908–1976) is one of the great photographers of the twentieth century, whose ideas exerted a powerful influence on a generation of photographers and still resonate today. His photographic career began in 1938 in Portland, Oregon, with assignments for the WPA (Works Progress Administration). After serving in World War II and studying art history at Columbia University, White’s focus shifted toward the metaphorical. He began creating images charged with symbolism and a critical aspect called equivalency, referring to the invisible spiritual energy present in a photograph made visible to the viewer. This book brings together White’s key biographical information—his evolution as a photographer, teacher of photography, and editor of Aperture , as well as particularly insightful quotations from his journals, which he kept for more than forty years. The result is an engaging narrative that weaves through the main threads of White’s life, his growth as an artist, as well as his spiritual search and ongoing struggle with his own sexuality and self-doubt. He sought comfort in a variety of religious practices that influenced his continually metamorphosing artistic philosophy. Review: A great addition to the study of Minor White. - Minor White was a unique creative photographer, publishing pioneer and educator. He was quietly influential in American Photography for decades and his work was exhibited widely. His teaching and photography emphasized a personal and intuitive approach. It is heartening that this book-in conjunction with an exhibit- comes out to emphasize the importance of White’s work and ideas. Minor White was a colleague of other photographic geniuses –Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Imogen Cunningham-but whose contribution to American Culture has been often overlooked. The essay by Martineau masterly covers the biographic life of Minor White in a concise and detailed manner. I found this book to have new discoveries and insights about White. And he has footnoted his research in a easy to follow way. Martineau is a great writer who is detailed, concise, free from jargon and writes in a clear and open way. The book is wonderfully illustrated with more than 160 photographs including images by Minor White that have not been published before. These are rich marvelous pictures printed by a master printer that are a reminder of just how deep and how expressive the medium of photography can be. Minor White was such a photographer and this book is a detailed look at his work and a fitting tribute to his work. Review: Nothing new under the sun - When a photographer looks at the work of others, he or she realizes that others have seen the world in a similar way. Minor White saw many of the abstract facets of life years before others and captured them on film. It is an inspiration to view these images and then try to create a vision of my own style. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #388,332 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #165 in Photography Collections & Exhibitions (Books) #212 in Individual Photographer Monographs #247 in Photography History | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 76 Reviews | ## Images ![Minor White: Manifestations of the Spirit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Jn7FBccwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great addition to the study of Minor White. *by D***S on June 22, 2014* Minor White was a unique creative photographer, publishing pioneer and educator.
