Author: Saul Steinberg

 

Bio: Steinberg born in Romania June 15, 1914, died in May 12, 1999, he studied philosophy and architecture. While waiting for a USA visa he created more than 1,201 drawings and 90 covers as a cartoonist.

 

Description: a fisherman fishing for more than he can chew.

Medium: pencil / pen

Chosen: I chose this piece because it had to do with proportion and scale. The proportion of this piece is the man in the boat and the big fish in the water. The scale is how the artist made the man small and the fish huge.
