Untitled (Cocktail Party) 1953

Saul Steinberg's "Untitled (Cocktail Party)" is a 1953 drawing that uses caricature and humor to depict a social gathering. Steinberg, known for his distinctive line work, captures the absurdity of human interactions at a cocktail party, with elongated figures and exaggerated features. The drawing captures the energy of a crowded event, with various conversations and postures, while the use of light and shadow contributes to the sense of depth and movement within the composition. This work is a great example of Steinberg's talent for social commentary and his distinct visual style, which he often used to explore themes of urban life and social behavior.
