    Would love to see the actual prints but the catalogue will have to suffice for me. Its "Minor White: Manifestations of the Spirit" by Paul Martineau. A very good read.

    I consider Minor White a "must see" for anyone interested in the history of modern silver printing. His style is downright claustrophobic to me it's so intense, but that's a reflection of how well he translated his psyche into the prints themselves. Kinda like Stieglitz on steroids when it comes to "equivalents". Otherwise, a genuine kook as far as I'm concerned, the ultimate high priest of a world that was created in eight official zones of gray, with each zone having some metaphysical
    connotation. He even looked like that wacko professor in Back to the Future.

    Like to add the exhibition is well lighted, much better than the A.A. exhibition last month, it is also in a different room than Ansel's.

    .................yes

    I've always enjoyed MW's work, very very different to that of, say, AA, who MW from memory said that Ansel was "......a good calendar artist......" or something along those lines

    thanks for starting this thread Michael

    regards, andrew

    By "nice prints", do you mean nice technical execution, nice content, or both?
