The great art historian and critic Leo Steinberg died in New York City on March 13, 2011.
Steinberg, more than any other historian of Renaissance art, believed in the power of pictorial structure to generate meaning.
On Steinberg’s life and work see the New York Times obituary and the entry in the online Dictionary of Art Historians.
See also the brilliant and poignant address Steinberg delivered at CAA in 2002, in which he reflects on his life, work, and his recent book on Leonardo.
