This photograph of a barn in New York demonstrates Minor White’s extraordinary ability to use light and shadow to compose a memorable landscape. The cross-like shadow of a telephone pole cuts across the image, leading the viewer’s gaze to the rustic barns that rest between a whitened earth and darkening sky.
