1. Peter Max- A Versatile Artist with Vivid Colors
Peter Max is an extremely versatile artist whose pop
art speaks to the masses through its beautiful brush
strokes and vivid colors. Peter Max art is some of the
most famous art of the modern era. His career has
been ever evolving in order to remain on trend and
current. His subject matter and message has changed
many times, but his work always remains uniquely
Peter Max. His use of lines and bold colors make him
one of the most recognizable artists in the world.
Peter Max fist launched himself into the public
consciousness during the 1960s. His early psychedelic
cart was synonymous with the counter cultural
movement. He painted many intergalactic themes
using his signature bold lines and bright colors that
would come to define Peter Max artwork through his
career. He single handedly is credited with creating
the poster craze during this time since most of his art
was licensed through home posters that people would hang up in their homes. Many people
incorrectly credit Peter Max with the original paintings for the Beatles famous Yellow
Submarine album and movie. While Max was involved in the initial design, he had to turn his
friend John Lennon down when he personally asked him to do the project. The 17 month
commitment in Europe was not possible for Max to do at that time with how quickly his career
in America was taking off. Another European artist, Heinz Edelmann took on the project
instead. Since his work so closely resembles Peter Max, people today still credit him with it.
Peter Max paintings continued to evolve with the times. Rather than being locked into his
1960s counter cultural identity, Max changed with the times in true pop artist fashion. He
transformed into one of the greatest patriotic artists of Americana during the modern era. His
44 Obamas, 100 Clintons, paintings of numerous presidents and their wives, and most
famously his Liberty Head series capture the essence of America and have become widely
popular among collectors. Although remarkably different in subject matter and tone than the
art that launches his career, they are still uniquely Peter Max originals. The art’s bold use of
vivid color remains his signature. Peter Max’s most recent original art has broadened in scope
yet again. He has now become increasingly focused on humanitarian issues. He has focused
on peace, environmentalism, and love in his recent original art. He has become a major
humanitarian with special emphasis on animal rights and that love is reflected in his recent
art. He has also painted a number of famous celebrities including Paul McCartney, Shaquille
O’Neil, and many others. Peter Max has also lent his art to a number of successful
commercial campaigns including Absolut Vodka and Pepsi Company. Known for his ability to
work on unusual canvases and employ mixed media techniques, he has also painted a portion
of the Berlin Wall , a Boeing plane, and will soon be unveiling a 16 story cruise ship among
the ten largest on earth. These Peter Max originals are truly unique and have become famous
