About The Work
Peter Saul’s crude but joyous figuration is characteristically delightful and unsettling, incorporating bulbous line work and ghoulish cartoon faces to examine cultural addiction—to violence, religion, consumerism and politics. In this etching, Quack, a crucified character interacts with the head of a duck, which has taken the place of his phallus.
