The coffee table book "The Unseen Saul Leiter" features never-before-published works by New York photographer. Presented in a genuine cloth binding, this new monograph is a must-have for photography enthusiasts.
Saul Leiter (1923-2013) is now widely acclaimed as one of the world's greatest photographers. He remained relatively unknown until he was rediscovered by curators and critics in the early 1980s, and his work has been dramatically reappraised over the past two decades. Leiter's photographs depicted the flow and rhythm of life on mid-century New York streets in bright colors at a time when his contemporaries photographed in black and white. His complex and impressionistic photographs are as much about evoking atmosphere as they are about capturing the decisive moment.
Saul Leiter was born in Pittsburgh and moved to New York City in 1946. He pioneered a painterly approach to color photography beginning in the late 1940s and produced covers for fashion magazines such as Esquire and Harper's Bazaar before largely withdrawing from the public eye in the 1980s. The 2006 publication of his first monograph, Early Color, inspired an enthusiastic "rediscovery" of Leiter's work by a contemporary audience.
The coffee table book "The Unseen Saul Leiter" features never-before-published works. Carefully compiled by Margit Erb and Michael Parillo of the Saul Leiter Foundation, this new monograph, presented in a genuine cloth binding, will be a must-have for photography enthusiasts.
