About This Item
Steidl, 2006. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/fine. SIGNED COPY - Steidl, Gottingen 2006. Hardcover in pictorial dust jacket. First edition, First printing. Essay by Martin Harrison with over 100 color photographic images throguhout by Saul Leiter. SIGNED by Saul Leiter on the title page. BOOK CONDITION: Fine; a solid, tight, clean copy in a Fine dust jacket. SIGNED Early Color presents Saul Leiter's remarkable body of color work to the public for the first time in book form. Although Edward Steichen had exhibited some of Leiter's color 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, but 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 color.
