Biography
Originally a political scientist and philosopher, Saul Steinberg achieved legendary status for his long career as a cartoonist and illustrator for The New Yorker. He described himself as "a writer who draws."
Saul Steinberg's art explored social and political systems, language, and art itself. Throughout his career, his original works were featured in over 80 exhibitions.
Saul Steinberg's long and multifaceted career has encompassed works in many media and appeared in different contexts. In addition to magazine publications and gallery art, he has produced advertising art, photographic works, textiles, set designs, and murals.
"I don't quite belong in the art world, the comic book world, or the magazine world, so the art world doesn't quite know where to place me." Saul Steinberg made no distinction between "high" and "low" art, choosing instead to follow his own creative impulses, resulting in a diverse, unpretentious, rich, and imaginative body of work. His work is often both humorous and sophisticated.
