Jim Goldberg (born 1953〔(Magnum Photos Photographer Portfolio )〕) is an American photographer and writer whose work reflects long-term, in-depth collaborations with neglected, ignored, or otherwise outside-the-mainstream populations. ==Artistic career== Goldberg is best known for his photography books, multi-media exhibitions, and video installations, among them: ''Rich and Poor'' (1985), ''Nursing Home'', ''Raised by Wolves'' (1995), ''Hospice'', and ''Open See'' (2009). Goldberg photographs sub-cultures, creating photo collages, and including text with his photographs, often written by his subjects. Goldberg is part of the social aims movement in photography, using a straightforward, cinéma vérité approach, based on a fundamentally narrative understanding of photography. His empathy and the uniqueness of the subjects emerge in his works, "forming a context within which the viewer may integrate the unthinkable into the concept of self. Thus diffused, this terrifying other is restored as a universal."〔''Art Forum'', Summer 1987〕 Goldberg's work was featured with that of Robert Adams and Joel Sternfeld in a 1984 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art entitled "Three Americans"; the exhibition was described as "a show of politically charged and socially conscious images."〔Grundberg, Andy. (A new era of image-making. ) ''New York Times'', 30 December 1984. Accessed 29 January 2010.〕 His 1985 book ''Rich and Poor'', re-released by Steidl in an expanded edition in 2014, includes photographs of people in their homes along with handwritten comments by them about their lives.〔Roth, Andrew, editor. ''The book of 101 books: seminal photographic books of the 20th century''. New York: PPP Editions in association with Roth Horowitz LLC, 2001. ISBN 0-9670774-4-3.〕 For example, the handwriting under the photograph reproduced on the front cover reads "I keep thinking where we went wrong. We have no one to talk to now, however, I will not allow this loneliness to destroy me,— I STILL HAVE MY DREAMS. I would like an elegant home, a loving husband and the wealth I am used to. Countess Vivianna de Bronville." Although the book received one mixed review shortly after publication,〔Depietro, Thomas. (A touch of two classes. ) ''New York Times'', 30 March 1986. Accessed 30 January 2010.〕 other reviews were positive,〔Eder, Richard. Ex libris. ''Los Angeles Times'', 8 December 1985.〕〔Groenfeldt, Tom. An art with depth of field. ''The Record'' (New Jersey), 17 January 1986.〕 and it was later selected as one of the greatest photobooks of the 20th century.〔 The photographs in a 1988 exhibition of Goldberg's ''The Nursing Home Series'' were accompanied by handwritten text by the nursing home residents who were the subjects of the photographs.〔Pincus, Robert L. 'Invisible People' come to life in stirring photographic show. ''San Diego Union'', April 3, 1988.〕 A review of a 1990 exhibition ''Shooting Back: Photography by and About the Homeless'' at the Washington Project for the Arts characterized the exhibition as "Issue Art" and characterized Goldberg as "a superior Issue Artist because he's a superior artist."〔Richard, Paul. Making an issue of it - in the post-postmodern look, the power's in the message. ''Washington Post'', 24 September 1990.〕 A major mixed media exhibition by Goldberg concerning homeless children in California entitled ''Raised by Wolves'' began traveling in 1995 and was accompanied by a book of the same title.〔Richard, Paul. Finding beauty in desperation - at the Corcoran, Jim Goldberg's stirring photos of runaway children. ''Washington Post'', 18 September 1995.〕 A review of the exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art noted that Goldberg made reference to other artists and photographers; used photographs, videos, objects, and texts to convey meaning; and "let his viewers feel, in some corner of their psyches, the lure of abject lowliness, the siren call of pain."〔 Although the accompanying book received one mixed review shortly after publication,〔Woodward, Richard B. (Runaways. ) ''New York Times'', 15 October 1995. Accessed 30 January 2010.〕 it was described as "a heartbreaking novel with pictures",〔 and in ''The Photobook: A History'', Martin Parr and Gerry Badger praised it as "complex and thoughtful."〔Parr, Martin, and Gerry Badger. ''The photobook: a history''. Volume II. London & New York: Phaidon, 2006. Page 303. ISBN 0-7148-4433-0.〕 A 1999 mixed media installation at the San Francisco Arts Commission gallery entitled "57/78/97" explored race relations in the U.S., including the Little Rock Crisis of 1957, the 1978 ''Regents of the University of California v. Bakke'' decision, and the year following the passage of California Proposition 209 (1996) concerning affirmative action.〔Miller, Alicia. Jim Goldberg at the San Francisco Art Commission Gallery.] ''Artweek'', volume 30, number 5, pages 17-18, May 1999.〕 Selected photographs from a series by Goldberg called "The New Europeans," concerning refugees, immigrants, and trafficked people, were first exhibited in San Francisco in 2007.〔Stephen Wirtz Gallery. (Jim Goldberg. The new Europeans. Exhibition dates: October 4 - November 10, 2007. ) Accessed 30 January 2010.〕〔Baker, Kenneth. (Jim Goldberg's brave images are more than just art. ) ''San Francisco Chronicle'', 03 November 2007. Accessed 24 January 2010.〕 One review stated that the photographs may leave the viewer "paralyzed by uncertainty about what might alleviate the injustices" depicted.〔 Part of the series came to be known as "Open See",〔O'Hagan, Sean. (Jim Goldberg: Open See. ) ''The Observer'', 1 November 2009. Accessed 24 January 2010.〕 and Goldberg's book of that title was published in 2009 by Steidl. Goldberg is a Professor of Photography and Fine Arts at the California College of the Arts〔California College of the Arts. (Faculty. Jim Goldberg. ) Accessed 30 January 2010.〕 and has been a full member of the Magnum Photos agency since 2006.〔Magnum Photos. (Jim Goldberg. ) Accessed 30 January 2010.〕 He lives and works in San Francisco. His fashion, editorial and advertising work has appeared in numerous publications including ''W'', ''Details'', ''Flaunt'', ''The New York Times Magazine'', ''Esquire'', ''Rebel'', ''GQ'', ''The New Yorker'' and ''Dazed and Confused''.
