Saul Steinberg - Illuminations - Yale 2006
Best known for his barbed and brilliant art for The New Yorker, Saul Steinberg did much more. He executed public murals, designed fabrics and stage sets, was an inventive collagist and print-maker, and turned his magic touch to the fields of painting, sculpture, advertising, and even wartime propaganda.
Tracing the evolving motives that underlie Steinberg's multi-layered activity, this volume also raises fundamental questions about the historiography of modernism and the vexed status of "the middlebrow avant-garde" in an age of museum-bound art. Previously unseen sketches, documents and printed matter from the artist's paper illustrate the essay, career chronology, and entries for the works featured in this important book.
