Book Synopsis
The first major monograph on provocateur painter Peter Saul, featuring the largest collection of his work ever published, overseen by the artist himself.

Peter Saul is a trailblazing artist and masterful painter who is just now receiving his due after an extraordinary six decades of painting.

He later turned to more political subjects, such as his graphic, cartoon
