His work was whimsical and engaging and relied heavily upon themes of Americana and slapstick humour. One of his paintings, "The Hustler", was one of the best-selling prints of the 1950s. He was also known to have painted portraits of famous individuals such as Bob Hope and John F. Kennedy.[4]
Sarnoff usually signed art using his full name, or "Sarnoff", or just "AS."
His best known work is a painting of dogs playing pool entitled "Jack the Ripper".
Sarnoff married Lillian Skaff (1914–1977) and had two children, Susan & Linda, before divorcing. Lillian Sarnoff died in 1977.
In the 1960s Sarnoff married his second wife, Muriel Zapoleon (d. 1994) whom he had more children.
He died in 2000 in Boca Raton, Florida.
