Charleston, WV
A photographer since age 12, when he built his first darkroom,Thorney Lieberman has enjoyed a long and varied career. After a distinguished career of more than 20 years photographing architecture in NYC -primarily for the renowned architect I.M. Pei- Lieberman moved to Colorado and took up portraiture of Native Americans in traditional regalia, creating a vast series of full-length, life-size constructions consisting of 8x10 color contact prints; later moving to West Virginia, he applied this same vision to portraits of coal miners. A retrospective of his work was exhibited in 2008 at the Huntington Museum of Art, where he was named a Gropius Master Artist. His latest project returns to Native Americans, adding B&W photographs of the same subjects in street clothes. Lieberman has published three books of his photographs and his work is held in various museums and other venues across the country and in Europe.
