SAUL STEINBERG June 15 1914 - May 12 1999 was an American artist best known for his work for The New Yorker most notably View of the World from 9th Avenue. He described himself as "a writer who draws". Steinberg was born in Romania to a family of Jewish descent. In 1932 he entered the University of Bucharest. In 1933 he enrolled at the Polytechnic University of Milan to study architecture; he received his degree in 1940. In 1936 he began contributing cartoons to the humour newspaper Bertoldo. Two years later the anti-Semitic racial laws promulgated by the Fascist government forced him to start seeking refuge in another country. In 1941 he fled to the Dominican Republic where he spent a year awaiting a US visa. By then his drawings had appeared in several US periodicals; his first contribution to The New Yorker was published in October 1941. Steinberg arrived in New York City in July 1942; within a few months he received a commission in the US Naval Reserve and was then seconded to the Office of Strategic Services OSS.
