But where eminent photographers like Weegee, Diane Arbus and Richard Avedon captured the city most often in clangorous, sharp-edged black and white, Saul Leiter saw it as a quiet polychrome symphony- the glow of neon, the halos of stoplights, the golden blur of taxis- a visual music that few of his contemporaries seemed inclined to hear.
One of the first professionals to photograph New York City regularly in color, Mr Leiter, who died on Tuesday at 89, was amongst the foremost art photographers of his time., despite the fact that his work was practically unknown to the general public.
