Broken Nose Possibly 1991 - 1994

"Broken Nose," a black and white photograph by Jim Goldberg, depicts a close-up portrait of a young man with a striking expression of pain. The photograph, likely taken sometime between 1991 and 1994, captures the subject's face with a stark intimacy, emphasizing the physical and emotional scars left behind by a violent experience. The focus on the subject's closed eyes, the dark smudge beneath them, and the visible injury on his face evokes a sense of vulnerability and resilience. Goldberg's work often explores the margins of society, using documentary photography to shed light on social issues and human experiences, making "Broken Nose" a poignant example of his artistic approach.
