评论： He went to Cincinnati in 1843 intending to open a studio but met with little encouragement. For the next few years he traveled with a minstrel show as a blackface singer. Returning to Cincinnati, in 1847 he resumed his painting career and shared a studio with the landscape painter, William L. Sonntag (see entry). His first real success came in 1848 when he painted two views of Powers' statue, The Greek Slave. Until 1857, White worked in Cincinnati and lived in Covington (KY), except for a year in NYC. In 1857 he moved to Hamilton (OH) where he spent the rest of his life, except for the Civil War years when he lived in Cincinnati.
