Jerome Liebling

Jerome Liebling was an American photographer who also worked as a documentary filmmaker. In his lifetime, he recieved many awards for his work, including two Guggenheim fellowships. Liebling enlisted in the U.S. Army during WWII and was deployed to Europe and North Africa. As a result of his military experiences, Liebling became very anti-war in his beliefs.

In 1969, Liebling founded the Photography and Film program for Hampshire College in Amherst, MA and taught there for 20 years.

His photographs are in permanent collections in many museums like the MoMA, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C..

Liebling passed away last year, but his website is still active and running.
