Male / Female

by William Steig (Illustrator)

with over 145 pencil original pencil drawings, this is a book about men and women, their loves, miseries, jealousies and ecstasies. There is no text - the images speak for themselves. Steig is one of the few disciples of Picasso, and, like the master, he revels in the fleshy and the erotic. A feast for the eyes and for the soul.

First published June 1, 1971

About the author

William Steig was born in New York City in 1907. In a family where every member was involved in the arts, it was not surprising that Steig became an artist.

He published his first children's book, Roland the Minstrel Pig, in 1968, embarking on a new and very different career.

Steig's books reflect his conviction that children want the security of a devoted family and friends. When Sylvester, Farmer Palmer, Abel, Pearl, Gorky, Solomon, and Irene eventually get home, their families are all waiting, and beginning with Amos & Boris, friendship is celebrated in story after story.
