Minor White (1908–1976) spent much of his career concerned with the precise ordering and arrangement of his photographs, called sequences, to present ideal conditions for contemplation and insight. Inspired by the work of photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) who emphasized the expressive possibilities of photography through tonal variations and beauty, and who also created sets of photographs titled movements, White created sequences of photographs intended to be studied as a group. Each image in a sequence, its content, tone, composition, and location, expresseda grander idea, or theme, much like words in a poem.
