Exactly a year ago I wrote a post Liebling Revisited<\/a>, prompted by an article that had appeared in the New York Times Lens<\/em> blog.\u00a0 And today I find myself writing again, urging you not to miss another feature, this time in Slate<\/em>, How One Photographer Captured a Changing New York City Over 50 Years<\/a> in connection with a show <\/a>at the Steven Kasher Gallery<\/a> in New York until June 6, 2015 and which includes some previously unseen work.<\/p>\n

I wrote a whole series of articles about the New York Photo League<\/em> and a number of the individual photographers who were a part of it at a time when it was little talked about either here on in the US.<\/p>\n

At more or less the same time Anne W Tucker, Clare Cass, & Stephen Daiter’s book ‘This Was The photo League: Compassion and the Camera from the Depression to the Cold War<\/i>, was published by the Stephen Daiter Gallery, Chicago in 2001, I wrote five page introduction to the Photo League, with a long list of web links to the few articles then on the web about it and a rather longer list to individual photographers who had been associated with it, some better known than others: Morris Engel, Sid Grossman, Arthur Leipzig, Rebecca Lepkoff, Sol Libsohn, Jerome Liebling, Marion Palfi, Rae Russel, Larry Silver, Erika Stone<\/em> and Dan Weiner<\/em>. I had by that time already written about some others including Paul Strand, Lewis Hine, Walter Rosenblum, Gene Smith, Berenice Abbott<\/em> and Aaron Siskind<\/em>, and promised to write more about some of the others in later posts.<\/p>\n

And for some of them I did, though I think I never got around to writing about Jerome Liebling at any length. I’m not sure why, for ‘The People, Yes<\/em>‘ was certainly a fine book and one I got when it came out in the 1990’s\u00a0 and it is still available secondhand at a reasonable price. You can find out more about him on the Jerome Liebling<\/a> web site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
