A MINOR A FFA IR

Loewe pays tribute to the late American photograph­er Minor White with a retrospect­ive in Madrid

Forty-one years after his death, the works of pivotal American photograph­er Minor White are being placed in the spotlight once again with an exhibition at the Loewe Galler y in Madrid. Entitled “Minor White: Metaphors”, the retrospect­ive of 40 original prints brings White’s masterful eye for compositio­n, and deep understand­ing of light and shadows, to the foreground. From cityscapes and studies of the male form, to abstract takes on nature and other subject matters, White’s images are charged with energy and poetr y in equal measure—reminding us why the lensman was once recognised as one of the 20th centur y’s greatest photograph­ers. Organised by the Loewe Foundation, the exhibition marks the foundation’s seventh annual participat­ion in PHotoEspañ­a, Madrid’s Internatio­nal Festival of Photograph­y and Visual Arts. On from now to 25 August at Loewe Galler y at Gran Via, 8 in Madrid.
