Carte Postale
by Saul Leiter

    Saul Leiter – Carte Postale features a rare collection of intimate, postcard-sized photographs by Saul Leiter. 

    These works were recently uncovered by Leiter’s estate and offer an unprecedented view into his early artistic vision. Originally printed on postcard-sized paper by Saul Leiter, these small yet profound images reveal Leiter’s nuanced portrayal of daily life, from the bustling streets of New York City to the intimate interiors where he sought refuge. Through this collection, visitors are invited to witness Leiter’s skill in transforming ordinary moments into poetic expressions, finding grace in everyday life.

    Saul Leiter began his career as a painter, a sensibility he carried into his photography throughout his life. His images are not merely snapshots; each photograph is carefully composed, capturing delicate interplay between light and shadow, which reveals the quiet beauty of urban life. Leiter’s ability to uncover the poetic essence of ordinary moments makes his work deeply relatable, resonating on a universal, human level.

    This new book includes the images from the recently uncovered collection, alongside a unique addition: two detachable, postcard-sized prints, ready to be shared or displayed as cherished keepsakes.
