Why
the divide? Where does it start, and how? Saul Steinberg sat at his
draughtsman’s desk. Figures stand at the end of each tip, wondering did they
take the road less travelled? YES rolls downhill like a principal’s speech,
directly towards an unavoidable BUT. May starts with an mmmmmmm of
anticipation, encounters an A of achievement, only to tail off with an
unanswered why. Steinberg took an hour with best art paper drawing a Y, all
bells and whistles. Asked why, he replied, boredom. His stick figure Y reaches
out, in ecstasy, for help, another branch on the family tree.
