Résumé:
Saul Leiter: Early Color provides the first opportunity to see a comprehensive presentation of images by one of photography's great originals. The lyricism and intensity of his vision come into fullest play in his eloquent handling of color: to the rapid recording of the spontaneous unfolding of life on the street, Leiter adds an unconventional sense of form and a brilliantly improvisational, and frequently almost abstract, use of found colors and tones. Leiter's visual language of fragmentation, ambiguity and contingency is evoked in Saul Leiter: Early Color by one hundred subtle, painterly images that stretched the boundaries of photography in the second half of the twentieth-century.

Résumé:
Nourri de récentes et stimulantes découvertes dans les vastes archives de Saul Leiter, ''In My Room'' offre une riche étude de ses nus : pris dans l'intimité de ses studios de l'East et du West Village à New York, dans une lumière naturelle souvent généreuse, ces clichés noir et blanc reposent sur le concours de femmes auxquelles Leiter était personnellement lié. Dans les années 70, Leiter avait pensé à publier un choix de ses nus mais le projet ne vit pas le jour. Il nous est maintenant donné de découvrir ce pan de son oeuvre, contemporain de son arrivée à New York en 1946 et obstinément poursuivi au fil de deux décennies.

Résumé:
Saul Leiter’s painterly images evoke the flow and rhythm of life on the midcentury streets of New York in luminous color, at a time when his contemporaries were shooting in black and white. His mastery of color is displayed in unconventional cityscapes in which reflections, transparency, complex framing, and mirroring effects are married to a very personal printing style, creating a unique kind of urban view; his complex and impressionistic photographs are as much about evoking an atmosphere as nailing the decisive moment. Leiter’s studio in New York’s East Village, where he lived from 1952 until his death in 2013, is now home to the Saul Leiter Foundation, which is undertaking a full-scale survey and organization of Leiter’s more than eighty thousand images with the aim of compiling his complete archive. This volume contains items discovered through this undertaking: valuable documents that reveal the secrets of Saul Leiter’s process, unpublished works, popular color works, black-and-white images that have never been published before, as well as images that hold the memories of those closest to him,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.''
