About this work
Overview
Saul Steinberg's Untitled, a 1951 drawing, is held at The Museum of Modern Art. Created with ink on paper, it showcases the artist's distinctive style.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts three tall, spired buildings stacked together, with arched windows and decorative edges. They appear to float above wavy lines, suggesting hills or waves, and are rendered in simple shapes that convey both solidity and a dreamlike quality.
Technique & Style
Executed in light, sketchy lines, the drawing has a spontaneous, study-like quality. Steinberg's use of simple shapes and delicate ink work contributes to the overall sense of playfulness and informality.
