Description: United States: Aperture, 1982. Second Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0893811025. Illustrated by White, Minor. "First published in 1969, [this book] is the distillation of Minor White's work - a synthesis of word and image that demonstrates a profound sensitivity to the underlying meaning of life, to the acquisition of insight through the disciplined exercise of sight. 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. Building symbol upon symbol through a carefully selected series of photographs, White created an autobiography of the spirit." - dust jacket. 243 pages. Printed upon glossy stock. Chronology.
