| Artist Statement: | Norman Lerner has been photographing the world about him since 1952. He was described in the 2011 issue of Black & White Magazine as "one of a small select group who excelled at both fashion and documentary photography, and was able to switch back and forth with ease". Guido Organschi curator and editor of Camera Magazine states that "few photographers show the continued artistic growth and development in so many different areas that Lerner demonstrates." Jim Jordan of Art Week describes his work as "straight documentary photography in the best sense. A number of prints are small masterpieces of character study." |
