Saul Steinberg . In View of the World from 9th Avenue, his famous
 1976 New Yorker cover, a map delineates not real space but the
              mental geography of Manhattanites.
In other Steinbergian transitions, fingerprints become
              mug shots or landscapes;
Words, numbers, and punctuation marks come
   to life as messengers of doubt, fear, or
                 exuberance;
Sheet music lines glide into violin strings,
record grooves, the grain of a wood table, and    Through such shifts of meaning from one passage
             the smile of a cat.                  to the next, Steinberg's line comments on its own
                                                  transformative nature. In a deceptively simple
    Ink on music paper, 14 1/4 x 20 1/8".         1948 drawing, an artist (Steinberg himself) traces
                                                  a large spiral. But as the spiral moves downward,
                                                  it metamorphoses into a left foot, then a right foot,
                                                  then the profile of a body, until finally reaching the
                                                  hand holding the pen that draws the line.
Main Street--Small Town, section of The Americans mural,American Pavilion, Brussels World's Fair, 1958.
Cities, 1974.Originally published in The New Yorker, July 22, 1974.
Paris is reduced to the flowery curves of an Art Nouveau Métro station and triangular-plan buildings that mark
out wishfully broadened and empty vistas. With no cars in sight and pedestrians confined to the sidewalks,
Steinberg’s Paris emerges as an idealized city seen through its urban architectural styles.
 Style and content are coincident in Las Vegas, crayoned in a casino’s garish hues and frenetic barrage of
forms. The gambling woman, nearly all head and pocketbook, hits the jackpot at a slot machine. Her prize,
however, is not money or chips but geometric shapes, while the symbols on the machine are as juvenile as the
dream of instant riches.
