Editorial Reviews
Review
"Minor White is one of the greatest of photographers. I do not make this statement lightly. . . . The sheer beauty of the medium of photography is tuned to the exact meaning and feeling of the visualized image. His photographs are a fresh revelation and a new enticement to touch and embrace worlds beyond human experience."--Ansel Adams
"The quality of his prints is inseparable from the beauty and mystery of his objects; print and scene alike are discoveries by an inspired and loving perception. Through them, we divine the man behind the picture, his solitude, his awed vision of a purer world."--Meyer Schapiro, University Professor Emeritus, Columbia University
"Minor White [is] one of the most important photographers of modern times, whose classic work with the camera put him in the company of photographic artists such as Ansel Adams, Edward Steichen, and Alfred Stieglitz."--The New York Times
"Of those photographers who reached their creative maturity after the Second World War, none has been more influential than Minor White. . . . Indeed, White's omnipresence in the photographic world has made it easy to forget at times that he has remained first of all an artist: a photographer who has made some of the medium's most memorable pictures."--John Szarkowski, Director of the Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art
