Description

Angela Davis (1972) is a powerful and politically charged lithograph by Peter Saul, one of the most provocative and influential figures of American Pop and post-Pop art. Known for his raw, confrontational style and his unflinching engagement with contemporary politics, Saul uses exaggerated figuration and acidic color to deliver sharp social commentary.

Created at the height of Angela Davis’s international visibility as a political activist and intellectual, this work reflects the turbulent cultural and political climate of the early 1970s. Saul’s distinctive graphic language—combining caricature, distortion, and bold color—transforms the portrait into a striking visual statement that blurs the line between satire and critique.

Printed in colors on wove paper and published by the Dorothea Speyer Gallery in Paris, the lithograph belongs to a limited edition of 100 impressions, plus five artist’s proofs. Signed and numbered in pencil, the work is documented in Landfall Press: Twenty-Five Years of Printmaking (Milwaukee Art Museum, 1996), confirming its institutional and historical relevance.

A highly collectible example of politically engaged American printmaking, Angela Davis stands as an important work for collectors of Pop Art, countercultural imagery, and socially critical art of the 20th century.
