Peter Saul

Text and Photography by Mart Engelen

This retrospective exhibition ‘Pop, Funk, Bad Painting and More’, the first by American artist Peter Saul in a French museum (Musée Les Abattoirs in Toulouse, France) since 1999, spans the career of one of the last contemporaries of the pop art scene, covering the period from the late-1950s to the present day. Time to have a conversation with this icon who has never stopped addressing the most powerful issues of the world and of art, making him one of the major painters of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and still one of the most influential on the young art scene.
