Steinberg, Saul

The Oxford Companion to American Literature | 1995 | | Copyright

Steinberg, Saul (1914– ),Rumanian‐born artist, was educated as an architect in Italy. He came to the U.S. in 1942 and was naturalized in 1943. Here he has made a reputation as an artist and graphic satirist, noted for his precise line, his use of rubber stamps as bases of some designs, and his wordless comment on people, architecture, contraptions, and institutions, and a variety of other aspects of modern life, all treated with wit to expose their basic pomposity, fantastic nature, and grotesque appearance. His work frequently appears in The New Yorker and has been collected in books that include All in Line (1945), The Art of Living (1949), The Passport (1954), The Labyrinth (1960), The Catalogue (1962), Confessions (1965), and The Inspector (1973).
