Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's no surprise that Saul Leiter's street photography of the Forties and Fifties has a more painterly, less documentary feel than that of other members of theso-called New York School of photographers.
He began his career as an abstract painter, after all. In his introduction to this collection of Leiter's early experiments with colour – which is full of soft-focus textures, beguiling visual abstractions and half-glimpsed drama – Martin Harrison talks of "lyricism" and an "urban pastoral".
