The article presents information on artist Saul Steinberg. His current work still somewhat recalls the perforated wing-tip shoe and chromed tail-fin aggressions of the U.S. he took affectionately to task in the fifties. But, of courses one is dealing with a displaced European sensibility; Steinberg is at once a refugee from the old world, however imbued he is with its traditions and a nostalgic alien in the new one, however slangy his lingo. He functions enigmatically between our normal images of caricature and art. This combination of clever culture and dainty whimsy perhaps distills that strange evasiveness which is the lasting flavor of the drawings on display.
