Saul Steinberg Poster 1977. Saul Steinberg (June 15, 1914 – May 12, 1999) was a Romanian American cartoonist and illustrator, best known for his work for The New Yorker, most notably View of the World from 9th Avenue. He described himself as "a writer who draws”. He is best described as a "modernist without portfolio, constantly crossing boundaries into uncharted visual territory. In subject matter and styles, he made no distinction between high and low art, which he freely conflated in an oeuvre that is stylistically diverse yet consistent in depth and visual imagination. His art is featured in The Art Institute of Chicago, The National Gallery of Art, The Library of Congress and the Smithsoniam American Art Museum.
