Following the exhibition New York Reflections, the American photographer and painter Saul Leiter (1923) will visit Amsterdam. He will give a lecture on his life and work in the JHM Museumcafé.

This lecture is now fully booked.

Leiter is celebrated particulary for his painterly color photographs of the street life in New York, which he produced between 1948 and 1960. Amid the hectic life of the city he captured tranquil moments of everyday beauty. He was able to transform mundane objects into what has been described as urban visual poetry.

His photographs are frequently layered, near-abstract compositions of reflections and shadows, which recall paintings by abstract expressionists such as Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning, with whom Leiter felt a strong affinity. His friendship with the photographer W. Eugene Smith was another inspiring influence. In the 1940s and 1950s, Leiter was virtually the only non-commercial photographer working in color.

After the lecture there will be an interview and there is an opportunity for the public to ask questions. Of course, visiting the exhibition is also possible.

Language: English
Admission: This event is free of charge with your ticket for the Jewish Cultural Quarter.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the screening will be canceled. In the Portuguese Synagogue, visitors can join a guided tour in the treasure chambers. You will be able to view the ritual objects made of gold, silver, copper, and valuable textiles.
