SAUL STEINBERG
His themes include the characteristic facets of American culture that he, as an immigrant, saw as exotic: fancy cars and women, gaudy or anonymous buildings, the cityˆs loud noises and frenzied activity, the dynamics of social interactions, and the thoughts and processes of art itself.

Perhaps his most seen image is his spectacular painting of the symbol for the Columbia Pictures logo, even thought the audience is unaware of the artist who painted it.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
The Society of Illustrators is a unique and wonderful institution which is vital to the past, present and future of our culture. During the three years of my tenure, we have been focusing more of our attention on planning our future. We aim to ensure the Society's continued relevance and vitality. To that end, we formed a Long Range Planning Committee which met regularly to think about where we want to be in five or ten years. Funding was secured to engage consultants to help us focus our mission. Together, we assembled a diverse group of interested parties from across the country to consider the issues. We are now working on applying the information and ideas culled from that brainstorming. The Bulletin has been revamped and we are looking at ways to further improve communication both with member and non-member constituencies. A new design identity for our printed materials has been implemented. We have also endeavored to enhance our building for our members and for the public: the galleries have been renovated, a glass front door added and the bar and restaurant improved. These are first steps in a process that will be ongoing. It's an exciting time to be here at the Society and I hope all of you will play a part.
