| For six decades, Saul Steinberg's covers, cartoons, features, and illustrations were a defining presence at "The New Yorker." This richly illustrated book explores the remarkable range and unceasing evolution of this major American modernist. |
|
From the Publisher:
A tribute to the illustrated works of The New Yorker's Saul Steinberg explores his range of modernist work, in a volume that includes reproductions of each of his 130 covers as well as numerous examples of his interior drawings and portfolios. |
Annotation:
With an introduction by New Yorker writer Ian Frazier, Joel Smith's collection of the art of Saul Steinberg demonstrates exactly how much those wonderful cartoons and sketches contributed to the venerable magazine. Covering six decades, Steinberg's uniquely dazzling art includes 89 New Yorker covers (all reproduced here in color) and innumerable smaller pieces (130 included here). Smith has organized the images by theme, an illuminating method that showcases Steinberg's obsessions, among them rubber stamps, pedestals, distinctly odd children, geometric abstractions, and cats. Smith's text and Frazier's commentary are appreciative, illuminating, and highly entertaining in themselves.
