Steinberg referred to himself as “a writer who draws”. With simple lines, he recorded his specific view of the world around him, seen through the eyes of a careful observer, noting the stereotypes and absurdities of human action. This view is apparent in the ten drawings from the National Gallery Prague’s Collection of Prints and Drawings, from a generous gift from The Saul Steinberg Foundation, New York.
