Description
Saul Steinberg (1914-1999) - Juke Box. Original lithograph in colours on wove paper, 56 x 76 cm. Condition A, perfect state of conservation. This work is a dazzling demonstration of the irony and graphic genius of Steinberg, famous for his illustrations in The New Yorker. In this "Juke Box", the artist transforms an icon of American popular culture into a complex and fanciful architecture, combining imaginary calligraphy and absurd mechanical details. His line, both incisive and playful, dissects consumer society with a unique intellectual distance. The composition plays on accumulation and verticality, turning this everyday object into a kind of modern totem with vibrant colours. The large-format vellum paper provides generous space for the precision of the drawings, testifying to the importance of Steinberg's graphic work in twentieth-century art.
