Saul Leiter at M+B Gallery

Another marvelous show at M+B Gallery. The color and abstracted forms have a painterly quality in his photographs. Martin Harrison, editor and author of Saul Leiter: Early Color, writes, "...for him the camera provided an alternate way of seeing, of framing events and interpreting reality. He sought out moments of quiet humanity in the Manhattan maelstrom, forging a unique urban pastoral from the most unlikely of circumstances." The show goes through December 8, 2007.
