Navaho Indian Reservation, Arizona 1960

"Navaho Indian Reservation, Arizona" is a striking black and white photograph by Minor White, taken in 1960. The image captures a close-up view of a rock formation, showcasing a network of white lines etched across its dark surface. These lines, likely natural formations, create an abstract design that evokes a sense of both order and chaos. White's minimalist approach and focus on formal elements highlight the beauty of the natural world, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of light and shadow, texture, and form. This work exemplifies White's interest in exploring the aesthetic potential of everyday objects and landscapes, contributing to the development of the "straight photography" movement.
