Jerome Liebling (b. 1924, American)
belongs to the social documentary tradition of
his early mentors, Walter Rosenblum and Paul
Strand. For over six decades, his images of
people and places have captured the changing
terrain of the American city with remarkable
clarity. Liebling's poignant sense of humanism
and his concentrated study of tone and texture,
come together in singularly powerful images,
like the ones included in this exhibition,
which are at once visceral and unnerving,
poetic and revealing.
