About This Item
New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006. Hardcover. VG/VG (light shelf-wear boards. rubbing to corners. bump & crease to lower corner. pg edges-toned. dustjacket lower corner creased; back cover scuffed). Blue cloth boards, color-illustrated dust jacket with black lettering. 287 pp. 175 color and 135 BW illustrations. 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. -WorldCat Published on the occasion of an exhibition, organized by the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. and held the Morgan Library, N.Y., Dec. 1, 2006-Feb. 28, 2007 and other locations.
