PETER SAUL (San Francisco, California, 1934). Untitled, 1992, from the "Suite Olympic Centennial". Lithograph on 270 grams Vélin d'Arches paper, copy 197/250. Hand signed and numbered. Size: 63 x 90 cm. The Olympic Suite is composed of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. Published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism, the artists chosen are defined by different pictorial movements and trends. Trained at the California School of Fine Arts and the School of Fine Arts in St. Louis, Missouri, Peter Saul's artistic career began with Surrealism and Expressionism and then moved on to Pop Art. In his works he reflects the fixations of contemporary culture, directing the aesthetic of his works towards that of comic books, with strident colours, distorted forms and inconsistencies of scale.
