Created in the early 1970s, Saul’s satirical portraits critique the “superheroes” of the art world including Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Clement Greenberg, Allan Frumkin, and Leo Castelli. Rendered in a comical manner, with Day-Glo colors and enlarged female and male genitalia, each “sitter” becomes a parody of himself, a tactic Saul used to assail modernism and its practitioners.
