If you’ve never seen Peter Saul‘s “politically charged” paintings, the Venus Over Manhattan gallery presents the perfect show for you: “From Pop to Punk” features paintings from the ’60s and ’70s by the renowned painter.
Saul is for sure a politically incorrect painter, inspired by pop, cartoons and surrealism culture. His paintings are more akin to social commentary than clear political statements. Saul’s paintings from the late ’60s and early ’70s are vibrantly colored, technically refined and illustrative.
Peter Saul has exhibited his work internationally and throughout the United States, and his work appears in numerous museum collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago; the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. Peter Saul lives and works in New York.
