description: An only-from-Japan exploration of the photographers art and philosophy.Photography lovers the world over are now embracing Saul Leiter who has enjoyed a remarkable revival since fading into relative obscurity in the 1980s. This collection takes a Japanese perspective into the secrets of his appeal from his life philosophy and lyricism to masterful colors and compositions reminiscent of ukiyo-e. Some two hundred worksincluding early street photographs images for advertising nudes and paintingscover Leiters career from the 1940s onward accompanied by quotations from the artist himself that express his singular worldview. Saul Leiter was born in 1923 in Pittsburgh. He pioneered a painterly approach to color photography in the 1940s and produced covers for fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harpers Bazaar before largely withdrawing from public attention in the 1980s. The publication of his first collection Early Color by Steidl in 2006 inspired an avid rediscovery that has since led to worldwide exhibitions and the release of a documentary In No Great Hurry: 13 Lessons in Life with Saul Leiter (2014). He died in New York in 2013.size: 210  148  28 mmbinding: softcoverlanguage: english/japanese
