5.0 out of 5 stars
A very important book filled with iconographic photographs.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jerome Liebling: The Minnesota Photographs 1949-1969 (Hardcover)
This is a must have book for anyone intereted in photography.
Jerry Liebling is one of the truly important photographers in this country. His work is in every major museum collection. Yet, he is almost unknown outside photographic and academic circles. "The Minnesota Photographs" offer a glimpse at an era that Liebling captures in his own very personal, insightful way.
These are powerful pictures from the 1950's and 60's. Familiar, new, fresh, inspiring. George Wallace on the campaign trail surrounded by disinterested cronies. Eugene McCarthy and Hubert Humphrey at a baseball game. A commodities trade, his head buried in a handfull of soy beans, a home for retarded people, a slaughter house, boys hanging out on the street.
It's great to see a body of his work from a particular era, not just a few pictures representing different subjects.
