Romanian-born Saul Steinberg (1914-1999) had one of the most
remarkable careers in American art. While renowned for the covers
and drawings that appeared in The New Yorker for nearly six
decades, he was equally acclaimed for the drawings, paintings,
prints, collages, and sculptures he exhibited internationally in
galleries and museums. Through these parallel yet integrated
careers, he crafted a rich, playful and constantly evolving visual
language. Known to the larger public as the creator of the iconic
View of the World from 9th Avenue, Steinberg lamented being most
famous as "the man who drew that poster." This beautiful volume
goes a long way toward correcting that limited perception. It
brings together more than eighty works in a variety of media:
collage, drawings, objects, and photographs. It also features
Steinberg's astonishing mural, Art Viewers, a gigantic assemblage
that was shown on a single occasion in 1966. This book is
structured around three essays that explore the artist's use of
symbols, his fascination with fakery and imitation, his musings on
identity through the theme of the mask, and the autobiographical
nature of his work.
