Description: SALE!! Super RARE!! SEALED! Unique!!! Brand NEW! First Edition 2006!!!!! Saul Leiter - Early Color Brand New Sealed!!!! Language ‎English Hardcover ‎158 pages Dimensions ‎8.22 x 0.91 x 8.26 inches This is a rare opportunity to own a first edition print of Saul Leiter's Early Color. The artwork features a beautiful seal and was produced in Germany in 2006. The piece is in pristine condition and is still sealed, making it a perfect addition to any art collection. This is a First Edition of the immensely successful Early Color (2006), which presented Leiter’s remarkable body of colour work to the public for the first time in book form. Although Edward Steichen had exhibited some of Leiter’s colour 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, yet 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 colour. Review Leiter's color photography offers its own version of chance: an attunement to the visual masterpieces that can be found in almost every urban instant. -- Michael Greenberg ― The New York Review of Books Nothing short of spectacular...every image presented here is a mesmerizing masterpiece of light, shape, color, and form. -- Miss Rosen ― Feature Shoot Product Description A beloved photobook classic from the pioneer of color photography This is a Early Color (2006), which presented Saul Leiter's remarkable body of color work to the public for the first time in book form.

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. From the Publisher From PDN, The Legends Issue, 2007 Leiter's place is now assured. He will forever be known as one of the first photographers to use color in a serious, artistic way. Meticulously printed, his pictures use muted colors...that help tamp down the volume and motion of frenetic city streets. His prism tempers the more anxious, acerbic portrayal of city life offered by his peers Robert Frank and William Klein...Leiter's photographs are as likely to be compared to abstract expressionist painters like Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman or Richard Pousett-Dart.
