Minor White

San Francisco
1950

A black and white photograph of a Victorian-style house with a unique artistic twist: the left side of the image is altered to include a series of black circles decreasing in size from top to bottom, resembling a musical staff with notes, superimposed over the building's facade. The photo is mounted on a beige mat board with the artist's signature at the bottom right corner.
