From the New Yorker to Shrek: the Art of William Steig July 28, 2008

Organized by The Jewish Museum in New York City, 'From The New Yorker to Shrek: The Art of William Steig,' features a wide selection of original drawings for both his 'New Yorker' cartoons and his children's books such as 'Sylvester and the Magic Pebble,' 'Doctor De Soto,' 'Amos & Boris,' 'Gorky Rises,' 'Dominic,' 'When Everybody Wore a Hat,' and 'Shrek! '("fear" in Yiddish). Additionally, the exhibition will showcase his lesser known mid-life symbolic drawings, correspondence, and other documentary materials that will shed light on Steig, the man and the artist.
