Peter Saul
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.

This work is one of three hand signed Artist's Proofs, aside from the regular edition of 50. It is one of Peter Saul's most celebrated prints; the not so subtle at all symbolism speaks for itself, such as the gigantic dollar sign and wagging tongue (money talks loudly), set against San Francisco's iconic Golden Gate bridge.
This print does not often appear on the market, as so many from this edition are already in the permanent collection of major museums and institutions.
Other examples of this work were featured in the exhibitions:
"Print Retrospective, 1966-2010", from September 16 – December 22, 2011 at the Carl Solway Gallery in Ohio, and "Peter Saul: Prints and Drawings, 1960 -1975", from February 26 – April 11, 2009, at The George Adams Gallery...

Origins of Captain Marvel
By Peter Saul
Located in Lyons, CO
Color lithograph, Edition 30.
Peter Saul is a renowned painter of entertaining and provocative paintings. As an ‘anti-conformist’ and a ‘bad boy’ of painting, he mingles beauty and savagery, romance and ugliness in works that disarm the viewer. “Saul wants to offend and please at the same time.”
Drawing imagery from popular culture and using brash colors that add to the confusion, Saul accentuates the violent and vulgar nature of representation. He has a taste for narration and buffoonery. Peter Saul made prints for the first time at Shark’s in November 2002. He used his fine drawing skill and high-keyed color to create three lithographs, Self Portrait with Haircut, Modern Home, and Origins of Captain...
