About this Item
Date: 1971 Size: 19.5 x 28.5 inches Artist: Steinberg, Saul Saul Steinberg (1914-1999) was one of America s most beloved artists, renowned for the covers and drawings that appeared in The New Yorker for nearly six decades and for the drawings, paintings, prints, collages, and sculptures exhibited internationally in galleries and museums. Steinberg s art, equally at home on magazine pages and gallery walls, cannot be confined to a single category or movement. His art is about the ways artists make art. Steinberg did not represent what he saw; rather, he depicted people, places, and even numbers or words in styles borrowed from other art, high and low, past and present. In his pictorial imagination, the very artifice of style, of images already processed through art, became the means to explore social and political systems, human foibles, geography, architecture, language and, of course, art itself. (saulsteinbergfoundation.org) Poster was printed by Maeght, one of the foremost Parisian printers of the time. Piece is in excellent condition, unlined, and recently purchased from a private collection in Europe. Seller Inventory # KBE0424
