Jerome Liebling, R.I.P.

In a papparazzi culture in which mindless clickers distract us from any possibility of serious truth, Liebling is a welcome break. His simple seriousness is a blessing. In Germany, they call your favorite one thing or another a Liebling-whatever.

This is my first look at Liebling's work so he can't yet be my Liebling-photograf. But his work is lovely, and his "politics" grown up! I love what he has to say about the superficiality of our museum life. "The Politics of Everyday Life." I get it.
