After Minor White
A nature abstract after the kind produced by legendary American photographer and educator Minor White (1908-1976). His heavily contrasted photographs of subjects so often overlooked by the regular eye, emphasised his zen philosophy of life. Everything can indeed be photographed, but for White it was the duty of the photographer to bring out the essential characteristics of the subject in ways that surprised the ordinary viewer.

There is a wonderful book that was published by the J. Paul Getty Museum and authored by Paul Martineau. Minor White: Manifestations of the Spirit (Los Angeles, 2014). It is a book I will certainly review here in due course.
I have actually quoted from this book on a previous photograph.
