In Wall Street Suicide, Édouard Manet’s provocative imagery collides with the surreal, distorted figures of Francis Bacon and the enduring American icon of Frankenstein—both dead and alive. The painting’s bold use of color and jarring, exaggerated aesthetic exemplify Saul’s painterly mastery and his uniquely probing approach to contemporary themes.
“The important thing is that a work has to look fresh, to be as original as possible. That means it has to have its own idea and psychology. I try to make it worth looking at, to turn it into a sensation. True or false doesn’t matter at all as long as it’s disturbing or funny, because I love all psychology. Bad things make me laugh just as often as good things. This has been my art style for over 55 years. I am open to any humor, except sophisticated humor. Too many good artists have sought after it. The secret of the success of a “bad” artist is in overcoming the need for approval.” – Peter Saul
