My mentor mentioned Saul Steinberg and I been looking at his work.
Love it and can see had big influence on Hockney too.
Saul Steinberg: Illuminations
This major traveling retrospective, doctor now finishing its four-stop US tour at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, case Vassar College (through February 24, hospital 2008), is the first comprehensive look at Steinberg’s extraordinary contribution to 20th-century art. Steinberg’s role, in curator Joel Smith’s presentation, was that of a modern-day illuminator, putting word and image in play to create art that spoke to the eyes, and minds, of readers. The exhibition assembles examples of the remarkable range of works Steinberg produced during his prolific 60-year career–drawings, paintings, sculptures, photographs, prints, paper-bag masks, collages, murals, holiday cards, and stage sets–many of them never before exhibited.Organized by the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Vassar College.
