  Peter Saul’s pointed and provocative style of painting has been raising brows and hackles since the late 1950s. On a long list of influences that counted as outliers within the fine-art tradition he transgressed were comic books and absurdist antics of the kind popularized by Mad magazine, mixed with an appreciation of Surrealism and other perhaps surprisingly stately painters throughout the ages.
