Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. pp. 240. In 1941, A Young Romanian Escaped Wartime Italy, Where He Had Recently Completed A Degree In Architecture, And Began Submitting Cartoons To A Weekly Manhattan Magazine. For The Next Six Decades, Saul Steinberg's Covers, Cartoons, Features, And Illustrations Would Be A Defining Presence At The New Yorker. As The Magazine Became A Standard-Bearer Of Taste And Intelligence In American Letters, Steinberg's Drawings Emerged As Its Visual Epitome, And The Artist Gained Recognition As One Of The Great Originals Of His Epoch. This Illustrated Volume Opens With An Introduction By The Artist's Friend And Colleague Ian Frazier. Joel Smith's Essay, The First To Draw On Unpublished Material In Steinberg's Papers, Explores The Remarkable Range And Unceasing Evolution Of A Major American Modernist-One Whose Art Reached A Grateful Public Not From Museum Walls But From The Pages Of The Periodical He Called "My Refuge, Patria, And Safety Net." All Eighty-Nine Of Steinberg's New Yorker Covers Appear In Full Color, As Do Many Drawings That Were Printed Inside The Magazine When Art Was Reproduced There Only In Black-And-White. Steinberg At The New Yorker Assembles The Artist's Most Beloved, Intuitive, And Brilliant Inspirations. Wartime Portfolios Chronicle His Tours Of Duty In China, India, North Africa, And Italy; In Peacetime, The Artist Pays Indelible Visits To Hollywood, Moscow, Berlin, And Samarkand.
