Summary

Best known for his barbed art for the New Yorker, Saul Steinberg did much more. This work looks at Steinberg's extraordinary contribution to twentieth-century art, which was that of a modern-day illuminator. It raises questions about the historiography of modernism and the status of 'the middlebrow avant-garde' in an age of museum-bound art.
