  • Saul Leiter(Eng)
    SAUL LEITER PHOTOGRAPHS & WORKS ON PAPER 9 Sept – 4 Dec 2011 Fifty One Fine Art Photography is proud to present a new and our third solo show of Saul Leiter (b.1923) with unpublished photographs and for the first time in Belgium a selection of his works on paper. The influence of his paintings on his photographs is made apparent when the two are presented side by side. His gouaches, rarely exhibited, mostly explore an abstract language made of large color areas in unsaturated tonalities. To enhance the link between his paintings and photographs we published only figurative gouaches with pastel-evaporating colors. Similar compositions can be found in his early color photographic practice as well, although they are slightly altered due to the medium’s nature. As a youngster Saul Leiter was attracted to all kinds of art: French painting (Matisse, Bonnard, Picasso, Manet) and Peruvian tapestry to Japanese and Tantric arts. He began his career as a painter. From early on, he devoted himself to abstraction for which he has a special love. His gouaches hesitate between landscape and abstraction. His abstract language reminds an observer of Paul Gauguin, the Pont-Aven’s French Symbolist School and the Parisian Nabis. He demonstrates a perfect command of composition, color choices and drawing skills. He makes his presence aware by allowing the spectator to feel the energy of the brush. In 1948 he discovered photography thanks to a meeting with the abstract expressionist Richard Pousette-Dart. Very quickly, he combined his pictorial and photographic practices. Which is why he was eventually associated with the New York school’s photographers.

  • 'SAUL LEITER: in Search of Beauty' from June 29 to October 21, 2018
    ‘SAUL LEITER: In Search of Beauty’ Foto Colectania shows the work of Saul Leiter, the surprising precursor of color photography . With 130 color and black and white photographs, the exhibition shows all facets of Leiter, including its most iconic photographs. Leiter photographed the streets of New York for six decades from an intimate perspective; with his particular use of color he gets images of an almost abstract lyricism. Saul Leiter, Red Umbrella, c.1955 ©Saul Leiter Foundation, Courtesy Gallery FIFTY ONE Barcelona, May 21.- The Foto Colectania Foundation, thanks to the main collaboration of the Banco Sabadell Foundation, will inaugurate the exhibition SAUL LEITER: In search of Beauty on June 29. The exhibition has been organized with the Saul Leiter Foundation of New York and curated by Roger Szmulewicz. For six decades the work of Saul Leiter (Pittsburg, 1923 - New York, 2013) fell almost into oblivion. The artist exhibited some photographs in 1953 at the MoMA in New York as part of a collective exhibition organized by Edward Steichen, but apart from his successful career in the 60s and 70s in the world of fashion, his work remained virtually unknown until very little. Several factors contributed to this oblivion, one of them Leiter's disdain for self-promotion. Finally, in 2006, a monograph by Leiter, Early Color, with images from the 40s and 50s, was published, which instantly elevated him to the category of precursor and master of color photography. This was followed by other monographs and international exhibitions, including the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris, the Museum de l'Elysée in Lausanne, the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, The Photographer's Gallery in London or Bunkamura in Tokyo.

The great writer was in his eighties then. It had been decades since he’d published anything, but it was thrilling to discover his old pieces in the bound volumes that lined the magazine’s library shelves: back issues made the past feel present. When Mitchell became a staff writer in 1938, he introduced The New Yorker’s readers to a world I recognized as not too far removed from the Manhattan I knew—a universe peopled by characters in sour barrooms, a bearded lady or two, black men who wore their self­protective reserve like a second suit.

    PRESS RELEASE SAUL LEITER FRANKFURT AM MAIN, DECEM BER 2014 SAUL LEITER. RETROSPEKTIVE December 13, 2014 – March 1 , 2015 Opening: Friday, December 12 , 2014, 7 pm Press preview: December 12 , 2014, 11 pm From December 13, 2014 to March 1, 2015 Fotografie Forum Frankfurt presents a retrospective of the photographer and painter Saul Leiter . The exhibition includes more than 100 works and brings together a marvellous combination of his early black-and-white and colo ur street photography, fashion images , paintings , and his sketchbooks. Also on view are the works , which he made throughout the last years of his life, on the streets in his neighbourhood in New York’s East Village. Saul Leiter died shortly before his 90 th birthday in 2013 . This exhibition curated by Ingo Taubhon and Brigitte Woischnik is a cooperation with the House of Photography, Deichtorhallen Hamburg and the Saul Leiter Foundation. Pioneer of colour photography Saul Leiter was born in 1923 in Pittsburgh and it was not until a few years ago that his work received due recognition for its pioneering role in the emergence of colo ur photography. As early as 1946, and thus long before the representatives of “New Color Photography ” in the 1970s (such as William Eggleston and Stephen Shore) he was one of the first to use colo ur photography for his personal work, despite it being avoided by most artists of the day. Photography becomes painting Saul Leiter always saw himself as both painter and photographer . In his painting s and in his photographs he tended toward abstraction with an emphasis on surfaces.

    GALLERY FIFTY ONE www.gallery51.com SAUL LEITER: 24.11.2016 - 28.01.2017 Saul Leiter’s Fragmented Fashion by Pedro Silmon on Pedro Silmon The Blog on November 25th 2016 Saul Leiter’s Fragmented Fashion You don’t look at a Jackson Pollock painting; you don’t look at a Willem de Kooning. You look into them. The same is true of these titans of abstract expressionism’s contemporary and close associate, Saul Leiter’s photographic work, in which the subject is often fragmented, obscured by reflections, condensed between surfaces, or otherwise obstructed by passers-by and blurred incidental foreground detail. Harper’s Bazaar, Mexico (fashion), 1960 Drawn to surfaces and textures, to shapes and shadows, and to the fluid expanses between the abstract and the figurative, Leiter, speaking of the ambiguity that runs through his work, once said: ‘I like it when one is not certain what one sees. When we do not know why the photographer has taken a picture, and when we do not know why we are looking at it, all of a sudden we discover something that we start seeing. I like this confusion.’ Leiter (1923 > 2013), born in Pittsburgh, had moved to New York in 1946 intending to be a painter – in the early days he exhibited alongside de Kooning – and although he continued to paint throughout his life, he became engrossed with the creative potential of photography as an art form. Starting with black and white, by the early 1950s he was successfully experimenting with colour, and in 1953 a substantial group of his colour photographs were selected by Edward Steichen for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art.

    Formatted: Font: 11 pt SAUL LEITER WOMEN 9 May 2008 – 21 June 2008 Formatted: Font: 14 pt Artist Reception Thursday, May 8, 2008 Formatted: Font: 12 pt New York - Saul Leiter’s ground-breaking work in photography and painting is Formatted: Font: 14 pt only now receiving the international recognition it deserves. Howard Greenberg Formatted: Line spacing: single Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition centered on the theme of women, a subject often visited by Saul Leiter throughout his career in his color, black and white and painted photographs. Born in Pittsburgh in 1923, Saul Leiter was the son of a distinguished Talmudic rabbi. Leiter’s interest in art began in his late teens, and in 1946, when he was 23, he left Cleveland and moved to New York City to pursue painting. That year he met the Abstract Expressionist painter Richard Pousette-Dart, who was also experimenting with photography. Leiter’s friendship with Pousette-Dart, and soon after with W. Eugene Smith, and the photography exhibitions he saw in New York, particularly that of Henri Cartier-Bresson at the Museum of Modern Art in 1947, inspired his growing interest in photography. Leiter’s earliest black and white photographs show an extraordinary affinity for the medium, and by 1948 he began to experiment in color. Edward Steichen included Leiter’s black and white photographs in the exhibition Always the Young Stranger at the Museum of Modern Art in 1953. In the late 1950s the art director Henry Wolf published Leiter’s color fashion work in Esquire and later in Harper’s Bazaar.
