"Considered the great pioneer of colour photography, Saul Leiter (1923-2013) has inspired several generations of photographers. He lived for over sixty years in New York's East Village, a neighbourhood populated at the time by artists of all kinds, the homeless, immigrants and lonely old people. His work is full of photographs taken through windows, in doorways or in the reflection of mirrors. Saul Leiter does not seek the image. On the contrary, he captures transcendent moments that have no intention - the poetry of the instant and the intimate, whose fragility he measures and whose grace he fully restores."
(from the publisher)

Textuel, Paris. 2011.

Hardcover (as issued). 155 x 215 mm. 312 pages. Photos: Saul Leiter. Texte: Margit Erb, Michael Parillo. Afterword: D’Akiko Otake. Text in French.

Excellent Saul Leiter publication - in perfect condition.

Although Edward Steichen had exhibited some of Leiter's colour photography at the Museum of Modern Art in 1953, it remained virtually unknown to the world thereafter. Leiter moved to New York in 1946 to become a painter, yet through his friendship with Richard Pousette-Dart he quickly recognized the creative potential of photography. Leiter continued to paint, exhibiting with Philip Guston and Willem de Kooning, but the camera remained his ever-present means of recording life in the metropolis. None of Leiter's contemporaries, with the partial exception of Helen Levitt, assembled a comparable body of work: subtle, often abstract compositions of lyrical, eloquent colour.
