Saul Leiter. In Search of Beauty

This exhibition is dedicated to the work of American artist Saul Leiter, who was one of the early adopters of working with colour photography. Leiter combined photography and painting his whole life, and he was still painting daily until he died in November 2013 at the age of 89. But the camera was the medium that helped him capture and interpret live in New York City in many-layered compositions as well as intimate scenes as nobody had done before. Leiter also played an important role in the formation of the New York school of photography in the 1940s and 1950s.
