Utcai jelenet, 1957 \u00a9 Saul Leiter \/ Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York<\/p><\/div>\n

Kunsthaus Wien is devoting a major retrospective to the oeuvre of the 89-year-old photographer and painter Saul Leiter. The exhibition, which was developed in cooperation with Haus der Photographie \/ Deichtorhallen Hamburg, presents the wide range of this versatile artist\u2019s works, including early black-and-white and colour photographs, fashion images, painted photographs of nudes, paintings and a number of his sketchbooks. One section of the exhibition is devoted to Saul Leiter\u2019s most recent photographs, which he continues to take on the streets of New York\u2019s East Village.
\nIt is only in the last few years that Saul Leiter has received due recognition for his role as one of the pioneers of colour photography. As early as 1946, and thus well before the representatives of the so-called \u201cnew colour\u201d photography in the 1970s, such as William Eggleston and Stephen Shore, he was one of the first to use colour photography for artistic shots, despite its being frowned upon by other artists of the day. \u201cThe older aesthetic views on the hegemony of black-and-white photography and the historical dating of the first artistic use of colour photography to the early 1970s need to be critically reviewed. Saul Leiter\u2019s oeuvre essentially rewrites the history of photography,\u201d comments curator Ingo Taubhorn.<\/p>\n
