Jerry Siegel: Images From The Black Belt Of The American South

Jerry Siegel: Images From The Black Belt Of The American South at Barbara Archer Gallery. "...Photographer Jerry Siegel documents the Black Belt region of the American South with an unflinching gaze. From decaying urban areas to backwater diners and pool halls, Siegel exposes the cultural values of an area that is characterized by extreme poverty, rural exodus, and community pride. His determined eye reveals unexpected depths in his subjects, inviting viewers to 'come and set a spell' in the company of his images. With compassion and without haste, he captures the essence and extremes of the American South." More... Works by Jerry Siegel at his personal site.
