A fascinating and comprehensive monograph highlighting the career of the provocative American
painter Peter Saul Peter Saul is known for his vivid cartoon-like paintings that satirize
American culture. Influenced by the Chilean surrealist painter Roberto Matta and by MAD
magazine Saul developed his unique neo-surrealist style in contrast to the abstract
expressionist aesthetic that prevailed at the time. Through wide-ranging imagery Saul's darkly
humorous works trenchantly comment on contemporary politics and culture.
