Saul Leiter (1923-2013) American photographer born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, He discovered art in the books of the public library. Son of a renowned rabbi, he is totally misunderstood by his father who had no esteem for photography and art. His mother, on the contrary, will support him and in 1935 will offer him a "Detrola" camera. In 1944 he exhibited his first paintings at the "Ten Thirty Gallery" in Cleveland, at the "Outlines Gallery" in Pittsburgh, and at the "Gump" department store in San Francisco. A brilliant theology student at the “Telshe Yeshiva Rabbinical College” in Cleveland, he decided at the age of 23 to abandon his studies and move to New York in 1946 to devote himself to his first passion, painting. Under the influence of abstract expressionist painter Richard Pousette-Dart. He will continue to exhibit alongside Philip Guston and Willem de Kooning and will meet Eugene Smith. In 1947 during an exhibition at MoMA by Henri Cartier-Bresson, he began to take an interest in photography and decided to make it his profession. He will exchange a few prints of Eugene Smith for a Leica and will stroll through the streets of New York, which he will initially photograph in black and white. In 1948, he turned to color, while alternating the two styles. In 1951, his black and white series "The Wedding as a Funeral" will be published in LIFE Magazine. In 1953, Edward Steichen, chief curator of photography at MoMA, selected twenty-five of his black and white prints for the “Always the Young Stranger” exhibition. His photographs will be part of the "Contemporary Photography" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. At the same time, he will open a photographic studio on Bleeker Street, where he will devote himself to portraiture, fashion and advertising. . In 1955 he held his first exhibition of color photographs at the "Artist's Club", a meeting place for abstract expressionist painters. Then in 1956 he exhibited personally at the “Tanager Gallery” in New York. In 1957 Edward Steichen again asked him for twenty of his color shots in order to integrate them for a conference he gave at the MoMA called "Experimental Photography in Color". Henry Wolf, legendary art director, will publish his photos for the first time in "Esquire" magazine and in "Harper's Bazaar". He will therefore become one of the great photographers in the field and will work for the most prestigious fashion magazines on the planet. Her work will be published in “Elle”, “Life”, “Nova”, “Vogue” and “Queen”. In 1991 the “Victoria & Albert Museum” in London devoted an exhibition to her “Appearences: Fashion Photography Since 1945”. In 1992, his black and white work will be published in the book "The New York School: Photographs 1936-1963", by Jane Livingstone. In 1993 His black & white works will be exhibited at the “Howard Greenberg Gallery” in New York. In 2005 “Early Color” exhibition at the “Howard Greenberg Gallery”. Then in 2008 first exhibition of his personal work in France, at the HCB Foundation in Paris. He made his first photographs in the early 1940s in the streets of New York. For 20 years he continued to walk the streets, and his work was rediscovered much later, in the mid-1990s. He distinguished himself for many years as a fashion photographer, devoting most of his career , from his beginnings in 1953 in his Bleeker Street studio, until the mid-1980s. His most personal and artistic street work would not be discovered until the end of the 1990s, thanks to Howard Geenberg Gallery" in New York, which organized an exhibition of his black and white photographs in 1993, and to Martin Harrison, author in 2006 of Saul Leiter's first book, "Early Color".
