The Ransom of Russian ArtMcPhee, John A.
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Photographer Inge Morath and the late NEW YORKER artist Saul Steinberg engaged in a unique collaboration in the late 1950s and early 1960s by having friends and acquaintances don paper bags drawn with fantastic faces and then posing them for photographs. In a delightful series of individual and group portraits now published together for the first time otherwise respectable people have been implicated in their mischief. Morath's straightforward, reportorial style is the perfect counterpoint to Steinberg's charming, whimsical masks. The deadpan of the photography, the Paul Klee like humor of the drawing, and the intriguing anonymity of the figures we don't know who they are, but we know exactly who they are stir a spirit of mischievous charm that will make this the perfect little gift book.
