Saul Steinberg, artist-in-residence of the nation's attic. 1967 S. Dillon Ripley, the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution at the time, invited Saul Steinberg to come be their artist-in-residence. He lasted four months. A gallery of the works he made while there is included in the article. Previous Saul Steinberg.

Those are very charming. Makes me want to get grandiose stationery to draw on. Not that I could draw so wittily. Heck, I can barely draw at all.

Saul Steinberg's drawings make me deeply happy. I think because they retain a spontaneous, doodly quality, even though the artist is clearly an accomplished draftsman.
