Saul Steinberg (1914-1999) was a Romanian-born American artist,
cartoonist and illustrator, best known for his work for
The New Yorker.
The hallmark of his art is the inked line, always drawn with a spare elegance that expresses the semiotic richness of the line itself. As it shifts meaning from one passage to the next, Steinberg's line comments on its own transformative nature.
