Saul Steinberg - Entre Les Lignes

For 60 years Saul Steinberg (1914-1999), an American artist of Romanian origin, contributed his cartoons to The New Yorker newspaper. Caricaturist, illustrator, graphic designer, fashion and advertising designer, set designer, he is a tireless creator of picture books. The catalogue includes three essays, one by Anne Monfort, the curator of the exhibition, followed by those by Valerie Loth and Jean-Pierre Criqui. These three texts are interspersed with unpublished excerpts from Saul Steinberg's correspondence with Aldo Buzzi, a Milanese writer and architect, with whom he shares his amused and critical discovery of America in the 1940s, as well as his reflections on art. A substantial portfolio completes the catalogue and brings together the most emblematic works of the satirical designer.
