Description
"Now firmly established as one of the world's greatest photographers, Saul Leiter (1923-2013) was relatively little known until the 2006 publication of Saul Leiter: Early Color, when he was already in his eighties. Choosing to shoot in color when black and white was the norm, Leiter portrayed midcentury New York's street life with a gorgeous painterliness that evoked the sensuality of his Abstract Expressionist contemporaries Rothko and Newman. His studio in the East Village, where he lived show more from 1952 until his death in 2013, is now the home of the Saul Leiter Foundation, which has commenced a full-scale survey of his more than 80,000 works. This volume contains works discovered through this project-specifically, color photography from slides never before published or seen by the public. Edited by Margit Erb and Michael Parillo of the Saul Leiter Foundation, and embellished with texts that describe how Leiter assembled his slide archive and how it is being catalogued and restored, The Unseen Saul Leiter"-- Provided by publisher. show lessTags
