Saul Leiter was born in 1923 in Pittsburgh. Some two hundred works-including early street photographs, images for advertising, nudes, and paintings-cover Leiter’s career from the 1940s onward, accompanied by quotations from the artist himself that express his singular worldview. 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. Photography lovers the world over are now embracing Saul Leiter, who has enjoyed a remarkable revival since fading into relative obscurity in the 1980s. An only-from-Japan exploration of the photographer’s art and philosophy.
