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.
