Saul Steinberg is remembered as the reigning 20th-century American illustrator. Born in Romania in 1914, Steinberg studied at the University of Bucharest, before moving to Italy, where he received his doctorate in architecture in 1940. Though Steinberg first proved himself in the academic realm, he carried an underlying passion for drawing that became recognized when the New Yorker magazine published one of his cartoons in 1941. A year later, Steinberg moved to the United States, and in 1943, married Hedda Sterne, the Abstract Expressionist artist. He settled permanently in Manhattan. Steinberg once said that, "doodling is the brooding of the hand." This he demonstrated through his cartoons, which were less comical than a grim portrayal of life in the United States. Steinberg often drew impressions of life in New York, showing both its towering impressiveness, as well as its bleak oppressiveness. "America was made to order for Steinberg," the renowned art critic, Harold Rosenberg, declared. John Updike also admired Steinberg, writing, "Like Vladimir Nabokov and Louis B. Mayer, Steinberg is a discoverer of the United States."
