Cowboys 1952

Saul Steinberg's 1952 drawing "Cowboys" exemplifies his signature style of playful, surrealist imagery. Using simple lines and a limited palette of pencil, Steinberg depicts a scene of cowboys with exaggerated features and intricate, overlapping forms. The artwork is a masterful example of his ability to convey complex emotions through a minimalist aesthetic. The fragmented figures and fantastical details highlight his talent for creating unexpected and humorous narratives, challenging traditional ideas about Western iconography.
