tamburina: Saul Steinberg & Inge Morath Ogni dipintore dipinge se, a Renaissance maxim ran: every painter paints himself. Steinberg’s peculiar achievement has been to render this maxim, pruned of all expressionist content. What obsessively concerns him is the idea that each drawing remakes its author: it is a mask. The self-made artist is one of his favorite motifs, and certainly his most famous one: a little man grasping the pen that draws him. In this “self-portrait,” artist and motif are fused, locked in a permanent logical impossibility that is also an ambition of poetry: Myself I will remake.
