SAUL STEINBERG (1914-1999).
A man fishing riding a friend by Saul Steinberg. 11x8 inches. Signed. Professionally mounted, framed and supplied with coa. There is a crease in the drawing but it is less noticeable being framed. Steinberg's long, multifaceted career encompassed works in many media and appeared in different contexts. In addition to magazine publications and gallery art, he produced advertising art, photoworks, textiles, stage sets, and murals. Given this many-leveled output, his work is difficult to position within the canons of postwar art history. He himself defined the problem: "I don't quite belong to the art, cartoon or magazine world, so the art world doesn't quite know where to place me."
