Steinberg's drawings were marked by satire and irony, yet also affection - and always with a masterful virtuosity. In many works he explored social and political systems, and human challenges.

Before the persecution of Jews forced him to emigrate to the United States, Steinberg studied architecture in Milan and had his satirical drawings published in, among others, the magazine Bertoldo. In 1941, Steinberg traveled to New York, where he was recognized for his drawings in the magazine The New Yorker. His drawings also found their way into the international magazines Vogue, Fortune and Harper's Bazaar.

Saul Steinberg decorated the American pavilion in Brussels in 1958 and he exhibited all over the world – including several times at Maeght in Paris.
