early color
first edition, 2006.
an exceptional opportunity to explore the pioneering work of saul leiter, one of the most influential figures in the history of color photography. here, leiter offers a city dreamscape where color becomes as expressive as the subjects themselves.
cory reynolds describes leiter's photographic work as an "urban visual poetry that is by turns deeply affectionate, edgy and breathtakingly poignant."
leiter had moved to new york in 1946 to pursue painting. although some of his color photographs were exhibited at the museum of modern art in 1953, they remained largely unseen for decades. it wasn't until the publication of "early color" that the full breadth of leiter’s innovative use of color was revealed to the world. this iconic photobook compiles his striking, often abstract compositions—intimate, lyrical glimpses into the city’s vibrant streets.
