Jerome Liebling

Nationally known photographer Jerome Liebling presents 118 photographs portraying his Minnesota. During two decades marked by social, political, and cultural change, Liebling traveled the state and found his largest subject -- the depiction and interpretation of commonplace human experience. The images range from the grain elevators and skid row of Minneapolis to the slaughterhouses of South St. Paul and the working-class streets of St. Paul's West Side; from the Iron Range and the Red Lake Indian Reservation in the north to the farming towns in the south.The vision of Minnesota that emerges from these extraordinary photographs is uniquely that of the artist, yet it leads viewers effortlessly to an enhanced understanding of the place, the times, and, always, the people.
