Exhibition: Minor White

Minor White: Manifestations of the Spirit, being shown at the Getty was a beautiful retrospective of his work. The large gallery space showcased work form his early, mid, and late career. His interest in taking the spiritual invisible things and making them visible in his images is executed through the poetic way that he captures metaphors in his imagery. He had a wide range of subject matter from landscapes to portraits of his students and models. 
His beautiful silver gelatin prints add richness and depth to his prints. Each one of his works is poetic and and symbolic. He uses his life experiences to fill each photograph with meaning.
