Shicago Justus (Chicago Justice) from Conspiracy: The Artist as Witness, 1971
Lithograph on Arches paper
Edition AP (Rare AP, aside from the regular edition of 150)
Hand-signed by artist, Pencil signed and dated lower right: Saul '71. Bears Printer's distinctive Blindstamp: Stamped verso: COPYRIGHT © 1971 BY PETER SAUL
American Pop Art master Peter Saul's "Shicago Just Us" is a powerful four color lithograph proofed by hand and pulled by machine from zinc plates on Arches paper at the Shorewood-Bank Street Atelier, New York. It was created in one of the most desirable and influential eras, the early Seventies. Peter Saul is one of the pioneers of the Pop Art movement - especially recognized for his powerful anti-War pieces of the early Seventies; the subject of a monumental exhibition at the New Museum. This politically evocative piece of protest art was created for the legendary portfolio "CONSPIRACY: the Artist as Witness", published by the Center for Constitutional Rights, to raise money for the legal defense of the Chicago 7, a group of Yippies, radicals and anti-Vietnam War activists indicted by President Nixon's Attorney General John Mitchell for conspiring to riot during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. (1968 was also the year Bobby Kennedy was killed and American casualties in Vietnam exceeded 30,000.) The eight demonstrators included Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Lee Weiner, and Bobby Seale. (Bobby Seale was severed from the case and sentenced to four years for contempt after being handcuffed, shackled to a chair and gagged - hence the "Chicago 7".)
This work is a homage to Bobby Seale, co-founder of the Black Panthers, and the artist's message about the kind of Justice Seale got in Chicago during the Conspiracy Trial is anything but subtle! Although Abbie Hoffman would later point out that these (now famous) radicals couldn't even agree on lunch, the jury convicted them of conspiracy. All of the convictions, contempt citations and lengthy jail sentences were ultimately overturned by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. This particular piece by Paul is a tribute to Bobby Seale, whose Constitutional rights were trampled upon by the lower court. For fans of Pop Artist Peter Saul, and for students of American history who appreciate Bobby Seale, as well as for collectors of Art of the Sixties - and protest art -- and for those who still believe in social justice, this iconic print symbolizes a piece of American history! Many editions of this work are already in the collections of major museums and institutions.

Large Bus by Allen Jones classic British 1960s pop art in bright primary colors
By Allen Jones
Located in New York, NY
This large Allen Jones lithograph is printed exuberantly in primary colors. A swath of bright red brushstrokes represents the side of a bus. In the upper left, small windows reveal the passengers: a woman’s face is cut off above her vampy red lips, and a blue-haired man’s face is hidden. Royal blue fills the upper right corner of the composition, giving the impression of looking up at a passing bus against the cloudless sky. One can imagine Jones was thinking of the iconic red double decker bus the AEC Routemaster, first introduced in London in 1954. In the 1960s buses were a living symbol of familiar and new technology coexisting: as David Bucken put it, “In and around London a midpoint change on a journey might involve alighting from an RT bus, of which production had started just prior to World War II, and getting on one of the sexy new Routemasters.”
In the artist’s words: “The whole problem as a figurative artist was that it was going against the main march of modernism, which was towards abstraction. But here was a way of making the subject you were painting the same as the object you were painting on. By making the canvas a rhomboid, and putting little wheels on it, you have a schematic version of a vehicle, in this case a
London bus.” Jones plays with the space between abstraction and figuration: windowed passengers, elaborated with just a few lines and placed adjacent to a weighty red ground of brushstrokes, easily convey the form of a bus, yet the print also conveys Jones’ visceral, painterly delight in color play.
