NEW YORK---Religious fundamentalists might accuse Jim Shaw of working for Satan, and they would be right if the Devil is imagined to be a tricky rebel against all forms of authoritarian orthodoxy.  As viewers will discover in “Jim Shaw: The End Is Here,” a mind-blowing show at the New Museum, Mr. Shaw does Surrealism, Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism, Conceptualism, cartoons and comic strips, psychedelic posters and kitschy illustration styles with an endlessly inventive comedic twist.
