The artwork, titled “Graph Paper Architecture,” is a creation by artist Saul Steinberg, dated 1954. It is a part of the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of cityscape.
“Graph Paper Architecture” features a central high-rise building composed of graph paper, which stands in stark contrast to the loosely sketched surrounding buildings and streetscape. The architectural elements and city environment are depicted with simple, yet expressive lines, capturing the bustling activity of an urban setting. Vehicles, pedestrians, and various structures are drawn with a minimalistic yet dynamic style, highlighting Steinberg’s unique artistic approach. The graph paper serves as a striking and unconventional focal point within an otherwise typical cityscape, embodying the artist’s innovative blend of media and commentary on urban life.
