⁡
Saul Leite is one of those greats.

However, strangely, he is a great man who was re-evaluated after his death in 2013.
⁡
⁡
Originally aiming to be a painter, his unique color tone and composition are greatly influenced by his photographs.


⁡
⁡

New York in the 1950s after World War II saw a boom in abstract art, and the abstract paintings of Mark Rothko, a Russian-Jewish artist, also gave hints for the composition of Saul later.


⁡

⁡
Rothko is a 20th-century American Abstractist painter, and his painting style is an oil painting color expression painter that does not have a specific focus of 2 or 3 divisions with vague outlines on the entire screen.


⁡
⁡

The sole was formed with a “frame in frame” photo, quoting the color expression in the composition of the photo.


⁡
⁡

Also, in order to reproduce Lautrec-like color expression in photographs, he uses KODACHROME, a color film that has just changed from monochrome at that time.


⁡
⁡

This film was a rare film at the time because it was hard to fade even if the photograph was developed with deep shades of red and yellow.
⁡

⁡
Most of the early color photographs had poor fading resistance and storage stability.

⁡ KODACHROME's film is the cutting edge film at that time without these disadvantages.
⁡
In Sole's photographs, ambiguous photographic works are created in the frame-in-frame composition of Rocos abstract expression, reflecting natural phenomena such as rain and snow through the glass through the lens.

⁡

This is one of his ways of expression that connects painting and photography.


⁡

⁡
Saul prefers Japanese Zen and Buddhism.
⁡
⁡
“The real world is connected to what is originally hidden. 』
