The first complete portrait of artist and cartoonist Saul Steinberg, begins in Romania when the Second World War forces him to emigrate to the United States. On a single day, he became a US citizen, an officer in the US Navy and a member of the wartime intelligence agency, sent out to spy in China, North Africa and Italy.
After the war, he returned to his art to become one of 'The New Yorker's' most iconic satirical artists. He shot to fame with his illustration 'View of the World from Ninth Avenue' that served as the magazine's cover in March, 1976.
