scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: Photographs and slides of Gorelick's artwork form the bulk of this series. Also found are photographs of Gorelick including portraits, studio photos, and photos of Gorelick with others at exhibition openings, other events, and a painting class. The series also includes installation images and Gorelick's study photos and slides of her subjects, both people and landscapes, used for her paintings. 

Photos and slides of Gorelick's models Libby and Boris Ourlicht, Tess Forrest and Joseph Barnett, Lee and Gunny Benson, and others can also be found in this series. The Bensons were some of Gorelick's oldest friends, and Libby Ourlicht was Gorelick's subject and muse in nude figure paintings, portraits, and paintings in which Ourlicht is pictured with her husband and two adolescent children. 

Other individuals depicted in the photos are Leonard Gorelick (including photos by Maurice C. Blum), Ilise Greenstein, and others. One folder of various unlabeled slides includes shots of unidentified people, landscapes, skyscapes, and a few images of Gorelick and others. 

In addition to black and white and color slides and photographic prints, photographic media include laser prints, negatives, and contact sheets.
