Photographs and Writings 1939-1968. Preface to the Second Edition by Michael E. Hoffman. Image chronology, biography, exhibitions, bibliography . 4to pp. 244 This monograph is a distillation of Minor White's work. It is also a personal testament. White edited, sequenced, and joined with his writings 243 photographs made throughout his life - studies of windows and doors, light playing on fields and forests, abstractions of stone and sand, the faces of friends and lovers and students, nudes against water-worn rocks and shimmering seascapes - each image reverberating with a particular sense of the moment.
