Saul Leiter - Early Black and White - I. Interior, Steidl, 2014, Göttingen

 

Hardcover cloth bound with dust jacket - part I of the slipcased bookset "Early Black and White". Edited by Howard Greenberg and Bob Shamis with the assitance of Margit Erg. Design by Gregory Wakabayshi, adapted from "Early Color", designed by Martin Harrison, texts by Max Kzloff for "I. Interior".

The distinctive iconography of Saul Leiter’s early black and white photographs stems from his profound response to the dynamic street life of New York City in the late 1940s and 50s. While this technique borrowed aspects of the photodocumentary, Leiter’s imagery was more shaped by his highly individual reactions to the people and places he encountered. Like a Magic Realist with a camera, Leiter absorbed the mystery of the city and poignant human experiences. Together with Early Color, also published by Steidl, Early Black and White shows the impressive range of Leiter’s early photography.
