I am off to New York in a few weeks, so I thought I'd do a loosely NY based post. Saul Steinberg was born in 1914 and is one of America's most loved artists/cartoonist. He created thousands of imaginative and witty illustrations for The New Yorker for almost sixty years. His drawings are cartoons, in the sense he drew things not as they appear but as the multisensory mind sees them. However, his subject matter - memory, geometry, history, semantics, reason, weather, strayed from the typical thematic range of comics and of New Yorker cartoons as they existed before him. He once described himself as a 'writer who draws.'
