About this product

Product Information

This is a reprint of the immensely successful Early Color (2006), which presented Leiter's remarkable body of colour work to the public for the first time in book form. 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.

How to make everyday things look magical!
The book is chock full of photo images, and well presented. Looking at the images is almost like stepping into a parallel universe where everything is recognisable but at the same time a little out of kilter. Saul Leiter absolutely nailed it with taking the step to use colour photography when it was deemed at the time as going against the grain; the colours in his work are crucial in producing such memorable images which linger in the mind.
