Knowing the legend..

Arthur Leipzig’s photography career is a testament to the great American photo-journalism. His beginnings with the Photo League in the 1940’s, his freelance work during the 1950’s-60’s, as well as his years of full time teaching, where he had more control over his assignments, in the 1970s and 1980’s are all examples of the difficulties and opportunities that photography can bring. This catalogue showcases Leipzig’s photography – it is a testament to his lifelong creative response and dedication to photography as a medium for communicating fundamental human experience.

Sarah's Daughters

This book showcases strong women. Each woman is proud of her accomplishments, whether she's a mother, wife, scholar, worker or politician. This comes straight from Jewish tradition. A woman who can manage a home can also run a business.

Growing Up in New York

Arthur Leipzig has been documenting New York City's street life for fifty years. In his role of a documentary photographer he traveled New York day and night. Sometimes he was on assignment. But he was always attentive to the city's night life, poverty, poetry, and its violence and drama.

What Media said...

Mr. Leipzig has been a photographer specializing in photos of people. His subjects range from the New York subway, to an Ethiopian classroom or a Honduran forest. A master of landscape photography, Mr. Leipzig has been renowned for his photo-essays focusing on urban life, Jewish communities and other social issues. Although his black-and white documentary and journalistic work is less well-known, his picturesque views of Niagara Falls (Glacier Bay) and Death Valley show his delicate handling of colors and gift for formalistic composition.

– New York Times

Arthur Leipzig’s ability to capture fleeting, candid gestures on the streets of New York City is unparalleled. Like Helen Levitt, his contemporary in New York City, he can’t be considered a true news photographer.

Leipzig had an attentive eye for the composition and framing of his images. He was also a poet. Leipzig did not possess the hunger of a true photojournalist to be a front-page winner.

He was a photojournalist over many years. His photos were always focused on people. That is why the university prize acknowledges that his “creative photography reflects both an exceptional competence and sensitivity. His continued contributions to his discipline have protected the integrity and humanity of his humanistic concerns. His work is stimulating, ongoing, compassionate.
