Saul Steinberg

Untitled [For Meyer Schapiro]
1974

This image features a mixed-media artwork with two distinct sections. The upper section is a black and white drawing that includes a landscape with hills, clouds, and various objects such as a tank, airplanes, and figures standing or walking. There is a circular emblem with a bird in the center top of this section. Below the drawing, there is handwritten script that appears to be in cursive, possibly part of the artwork. The lower section shows a watercolor painting with a soft, pastel sky and a lone figure standing in a vast landscape. The artwork is numbered "62/100" and signed "STEINBERG '74" in the bottom right corner. There is also a blue circular stamp or seal on the bottom left. The paper has rough edges, suggesting it may be high-quality printmaking paper.
