Art Brings Life to Old Case Studies

Naomi Pfefferman January 15, 2004

The eight stark photographs show scenes from a decaying mansion in West Adams, where a homeless parent and child \”squat\” amid dust and detritus. A microwave oven sits on a peeling bureau; a wall has crumbled between the toilet and living room.\n\nThe images — featured in \”Still Listening: 150 Years of Jewish Family Service\” — are photographer Albert Winn\’s present-day response to an old Jewish Family Service (JFS) case history. The 1934 report describes an impoverished family living in squalor behind a tin shop.

The initiative seems to have been a success: Brown not only secured a job at the now-defunct United Jewish Communities\’ (UJC) Trust for Jewish Philanthropy, he has attracted more than 6,000 job seekers to his service, which boasts a testimonials page of happily matched employees and employers.
