Presaging Paul McCarthy and Mike Kelley and exerting noticeable influence on artists such as Barry McGee and Ed Templeton, Saul’s works are long overdue for a more in-depth reevaluation. \u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003eThis publication provides the first comprehensive overview of five decades of Peter Saul’s paintings. It features numerous works from the early sixties to the present, including several “icebox” paintings, some of his epic historical canvases, and his homages to Thomas Hart Benton. The painter’s works poke fun at the art world’s “sacred cows,” painfully demonstrate the multiple psychic hazards of being an aging American male, and address current political affairs.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=3\u003e\u003cFONT face=\"Times New Roman\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, June 22–September 21, 2008\u003cSPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\"\u003e\u0026nbsp; \u003c\/SPAN\u003e· \u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"st1\" \/\u003e\u003cst1:state u1:st=\"on\"\u003ePennsylvania\u003c\/st1:state\u003e \u003cst1:placetype u1:st=\"on\"\u003eAcademy\u003c\/st1:placetype\u003e of \u003cst1:placename u1:st=\"on\"\u003eFine Arts\u003c\/st1:placename\u003e, \u003cst1:place u1:st=\"on\"\u003e\u003cst1:city u1:st=\"on\"\u003ePhiladelphia,\u003c\/st1:city\u003e\u003c\/st1:place\u003e October 18, 2008–January 4, 2009\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; BACKGROUND: white; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874818846984,"sku":"9783775722049","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775722049_2cf44dc9-c355-40ae-bbb2-d414e6d9c8a9.jpg?v=1744126079","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/15990-peter-saul","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
