Forever Saul Leiter

A New Collection Of Saul LeiterS Work, Much Of It Published Here For The First Time.Saul Leiter Remained Relatively Unsung Until He Was Rediscovered By Curators And Critics In His Early 80S, And His Work Has Been Drastically ReEvaluated Over The Last Two Decades. LeiterS Painterly Images Evoked The Flow And Rhythm Of Life On The MidCentury Streets Of New York In Luminous Colour, At A Time When His Contemporaries Were Shooting In Black And White. His Complex And Impressionistic Photographs Are As Much About Evoking An Atmosphere As Nailing The Decisive Moment.In Recent Years, Leiter Has Been In The Spotlight More And More With A Series Of Exhibitions And Publications. His Studio In New YorkS East Village, Where He Had Lived Since 1952 Until His Death In 2013, Is Now The Home Of The Saul Leiter Foundation. The Foundation Has Begun A FullScale Survey And Organization Of His More Than 80,000 Works, With The Aim Of Compiling The Complete Archive. This Volume Contains Works Discovered Through This Process, Valuable Documents That Reveal The Secrets Of Saul LeiterS Creation, Unpublished Works, Popular Colour Works And BlackAndWhite Works That Have Not Been Published So Far, As Well As Works That Trace The Memories Of Those Closest To Him Taken In Private.As Saul Leiter Said, Photographs Are Often Treated As Capturing Important Moments, But They Are Really Small Fragments And Memories Of The World That Never Ends. This Is Forever Saul Leiter.
