Obituary: William Steig 1907-2003
posted November 30, 2003
"There is no school of Bill Steig - there is only Steig." - Maurice Sendak
William Steig, the prolific New Yorker illustrator once dubbed the "King of Cartoons" best known in recent years for his award-winning work in children's books, died Friday, October 3 at his home in the Back Bay section of Boston. The family announced through Steig's agent and friend Holly McGhee that the artist's death was due to natural causes. Steig enjoyed two distinct career paths of note - first that of a master cartoonist and illustrator whose work for magazines such as the New Yorker was frequently collected in book form, and then that of a popular children's book author and illustrator who won awards and acclaim for works such as Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, Roland the Minstrel Pig, and Pete's a Pizza. Admired by cartoonists and illustrators in several fields, William Steig's contributions to art were even more thrillingly multifaceted than his vocational history. As cartoonist and illustrator Seth explained to the Journal, "Steig was one of those artists who had up to six different periods, all of them with great value and interest."
