āThis is how I remember itā¦ā, the photographer Inge Morath recalled in 2000. āIn 1956, I finally got to New Yorkā¦[Gjon] Mili gave Saul Steinberg a callā¦and Saul agreed to meet me and maybe pose for a portrait. The date was made. Upper East Side in the Seventies. I rang the bell and Saul Steinberg came out wearing over his head a paper bag on which he had drawn a self-portrait.ā
Thus began one of the most quizzical and fascinating artistic collaborations between a photographer and a cartoonist in history. The result ā a curious collection of images often referred to as the āMask Seriesā, made between their initial meeting and 1962 ā portray a range of figures wearing various cardboard box and paper bag masks created by Steinberg, photographed in a straightforward and unpretentious manner by Morath.
