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. He worked for the Morale Operations division in China North Africa and Italy. Shipped back to Washington in 1944 he married the Romanian-born painter Hedda Sterne. Folio; approx. 13.5 x 11 inches.

2005réf. 362391NY: Abrams 2005. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 240 pages. Steinberg's high-concept graphic art—epitomized by his oft-imitated cartoon map in which a Manhattan distended with self-importance shoves the continents of North America and Asia to the margins—is enchantingly showcased in this lavishly illustrated retrospective of his work for the New Yorker. Smith a curator at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar and author of Edward Steichen: The Early Years surveys six decades of Steinberg's pieces including all 89 New Yorker covers in full color cartoons wartime sketches from overseas evocative but never literal-minded illustrations for articles and unpublished items from the artist's portfolio. The material is arranged thematically examining such recurring motifs as cats pedestals and rubber-stamped figures and documenting the turn to visual metaphor in Steinberg's later work where symbolic graphic representations of sound abstract relationships and existential conundrums replace the usual scenario-with-verbal-punch line cartoon setup. Smith's pithy biographical essay situates Steinberg as a self-conscious modernist who helped develop a distinctive New Yorker visual style one with "a wry informal wit. attuned to the jittery optimism of the Atomic Age." Steinberg's cartoons usually made readers think before they laughed and so will this splendid memorial to a 20th-century artistic landmark. Record # 362391 Abrams hardcover
