I'm aware of other artists, but what I'm really most interested in is viewing individual pictures. I like dramatic pictures. Peter Saul artistawaredramatic Change image and share on social
I like to see things. I see a lot more art than I'd like to see. We have to be polite and see the art shows of people we know. We see a lot of art. Peter Saul artlotpeople Change image and share on social
When I was growing up, nothing unpleasant was shown in the home. And when I was in art school, the only art that was presented to me was Abstract Expressionism. But I was interested in the grim stuff. It seemed more exciting. Peter Saul abstractartexcit share on social
I enjoy finding a low subject and bringing it up high. I think with strong technique, you can glamorize certain things. You can make the imagery sharper, rounder, and basically better looking. Peter Saul basicallybringenjoy Change image and share on social
I celebrated success in the art world, which was quite sudden, and I suddenly had $1,000 a month, when formerly I had nothing, basically. So what we did with this money: we had a baby, we bought a car, and we celebrated by going to Rome, because it would be warmer and better looking. Peter Saul 000artbaby share on social
Unfortunately, I haven't thought sufficiently about art. What I never realized - and it's really stupid - is the art world is the art world because all these thousands of famous and not-famous artists do things, over centuries. This hadn't occurred to me. Peter Saul artartistcentury share on social
The Pop art I wound up doing came to me purely from 'Mad' comics. I loved the idea of doing fun stuff. I met an art dealer who wanted to show the work - that was in January 1962 - and that was the beginning for me. Peter Saul artbegincomic share on social
There's a small group of people always watching me to make sure I'm still offending. Peter Saul groupmakeoffend Change image and share on social
I like it best when two ideas collide, like when you have a crazed attitude towards women combined with a crazed attitude towards the Vietnamese. I like that. Even if it's not true, I don't care whether it's true or false. I just do it. Peter Saul attitudecarecollide share on social
I know it's a bit of an awful thing to say, but I really just make things up. My main goal is to make a picture that people find interesting to look at and that has my name on it. Peter Saul awfulbitefind Change image and share on social
