Jerome Liebling
![Young girl W. [i.e. West] St. Paul, 1956](http://discussions.mnhs.org/collections/wp-content/imagescaler/1477b2bc081d75d6f878f75120d7adf6.jpg)
Jerome Liebling photographed Minnesotan people and their landscapes throughout the 1950s and 1960s, during a time when the social, political, and demographic landscape was rapidly changing both here and nationally. Recently, Mr. Liebling donated to the Minnesota Historical Society nearly 200 black-and-white gelatin silver print photographs taken during this time period, the majority of which document activities of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
Jerome Liebling passed away yesterday, July 27, 2011. As an artist, educator, and documentarian, he has both presented Minnesota to others and left a legacy of compassionate art within our state.

Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance. I must say that you’ve done a fantastic job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Chrome. Excellent Blog!
