The artwork, titled “Las Vegas,” was created in 1985 by the artist Saul Steinberg. It belongs to the Cubism and Pop Art movements and is classified as a symbolic painting.
In this artwork, Steinberg employs a distinctive style to convey the vibrant and dynamic essence of Las Vegas. The composition features abstracted, geometric shapes and lines, which form exaggerated and surreal human-like figures. One prominent figure appears to be holding a brush or stick, engaging with a radiant, complex machine or contraption. The background is filled with dynamic, fragmented elements and bursts of color, reflecting the lively and multifaceted nature of Las Vegas. The artwork’s bold use of color and form, combined with symbolic and exaggerated imagery, encapsulates the energy and spectacle associated with the iconic city.
