Artwork Title: The Saul Steinberg Mask Series

The Saul Steinberg Mask Series

Inge Morath & Saul Steinberg

A collaboration between two friends and talents, The Saul Steinberg Mask Series features whimsical paper masks created by New Yorker cartoonist, in a series of portraits taken by Magnum photographer Inge Morath. Started in the 1950s, the project continued into the 1960s, and the resulting photographs were published as a group. Steinberg’s hilarious and fantastic masks, combined with Morath’s thoughtful photography produce intriguing and humorous images. Masked subjects roam the everyday landscape — the dining room, the parlor, beaches, cars and backyards. Aficionados of Morath and Steinberg, as well as those who simply enjoy a clever joke, will be delighted by this playful little book. The photographs are accompanied by a short memoir by Morath recounting her first meeting with Steinberg, their long friendship, and about the collaboration that produced the work collected in this small volume.
