Jerome Liebling: Capturing the Human Spirit August 9, 2010

The Currier unveils the compelling documentary images of the internationally known photographer and film maker Jerome Liebling. Now eighty-six, Liebling has been drawn to subjects that are powerful in their vivid imagery and artistic conception and convey a poignant sense of humanity and the dignity of human endeavor. Over his remarkable sixty-year career his subjects have included the people and places of the Bronx and Brighton Beach neighborhoods of New York; the stark realities of the slaughterhouses of Saint Paul, Minnesota; and the agricultural workers of the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts.
