“My friend Soames was a talented artist. She and I shared our lives together in ups and downs and ins and outs. She was beautiful. She believed in my work. She was something.“ So begins, with Saul Leiter's paean to his muse, an intimate reverie on family, relationships, philosophy and the wonder of an artistic life. With The Ballad of Soames Bantry, Lumiere Press offers its most ambitious title to date and a genre of bookmaking all its own. Saul Leiter's color imagery is multi-layered and multi-faceted - his paintings and photographs at times attaining an exuberantly kaleidoscopic presence. The Ballad of Soames Bantry is a kaleidoscope, Saul's life seen through the prism of his associates, colleagues and friends - Philippe Laumont, Grace Coddington, Robert Benton, Alan Porter, Jane Livingston, Howard Greenberg, Adam Harrison Levy, Tomas Leach, Anders Goldfarb, and Margit Erb. Recollections from the members of "the artist's circle" are interwoven with period art reviews, Leiter's poetry - published here for the first time - and predominantly, Saul's candid reflections on work and life.
