Saul Steinberg :: Untitled (Nine Postcard Landscapes with Figures). Watercolor, colored pencil, rubber stamps and collage on paper, 1970's
“There is something noble and reassuring about repetition. What I see is that by putting a little pink on the horizon, and adding a little yellow that fades into blue, I get a sunset (or sometimes a dawn). It makes me feel like I’ve mastered the laws of gravity, of drying water, of absorbent paper, and so many other things: I’m a plumber, a colorist, a marvel. Let’s not even talk about when I use oil paint, because the color itself has its own beauty, its own magical, phosphorescent quality.”
—Saul Steinberg, from “Portraits and Landscape"
