In the years directly following World War II, in which he served in the Pacific, Minor White began to explore photography as a tool for unlocking the mysteries of both the visible and spiritual worlds. His technical understanding of the medium was comprehensive and was such that Ansel Adams appointed him his successor at the California School of Fine Arts in 1946. White’s photographic practice was inspired by Alfred Stieglitz, whose series of Equivalents were of great interest to him, and by Adams and Edward Weston. His spiritual pursuits were informed by both traditional and esoteric Christian thought as well as Buddhism. He organized his photographs in Sequences – groupings of images that created a non-linear narrative. Burning Bush, offered here, appeared in his series titled Amputations. With its biblical reference to the manifestation of the divine, it is the quintessential Minor White photograph. It is offered here as a rare early print.
