http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/30/arts/design/30mind.html?scp=1&sq=Asian “The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia: 1860-1989” Christopher, et al, it is worth to read this Holland Cotter review. Tho Minor White is not mentioned in the review - he might well be in the show; the extraordinary influence in the USA of particularly Zen after WWII - particularly in the 'light' of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - is interesting to think about. Minor White's eye was clearly a part and shaped by this influence. Something in the manner of a jellyfish - as a sense appartus - Buddhism as practice is particularly 'haptic' - the Mind has no boundaries in its openess to sense experience as to be 'no' mind in the conventional wesern sense. Allowing a spaciousness as to what is received and what becomes the unfolding shape of the 'art' object. "Pathos" happens but does not rule.

I get the feeling that pathos has a sort of outsiders status with an implication that it be excluded from serious literature and art? > Mirror of Pathos (Minor White, American Photographer) Yujiro Otsuki. > www.yujirootsuki.com/personal/nakedman.htm
