Paul Kwilecki

Paul Kwilecki (1928–2009) was a self-taught documentary photographer. Hailing from Bainbridge, GA, he dedicated himself to photographing his hometown and the surrounding Decatur County. The frames Kwilecki made on his 35mm camera detailed small-town life. Black agricultural workers, working class folks, cafes, courthouses, grocery stores, cemeteries, and churches—no subject was insignificant to Kwilecki. He published his first book, Understandings: Photographs of Decatur County, Georgia in 1981, followed by Lowly Wise, Book One: Scenes of Religion in and Around Decatur County, Georgia in 1992. One Place: Paul Kwilecki and Four Decades of Photographs from Decatur County, Georgia, edited by Tom Rankin and Iris Tillman Hill, was published posthumously in 2013. His work has been exhibited nationally, and a large archive of his photos and writings are held in the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Duke University.

Kwilecki was honored with a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts in 1979 and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 1981. His works are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York City, New York) and the High Museum of Art (Atlanta, Georgia). Kwilescki's work has been the subject of countless publications, notably Time-Life, Aperture, The Atlanta Constitution, and Garden and Gun.
