Peter Max and his vibrant colors have become part of the fabric of contemporary American culture. He is one of the most famous living artists in the world. His bold colors, uplifting images and an uncommon artistic diversity have touched almost every phase of American culture and has inspired many generations.
In the 1960's Max rose to youthful prominence with his now-famous "Cosmic '60s" style, a bold linear type of painting which employed Fauvist use of color and depicted transcendental themes. Peter Max revolutionized art of the 60’s just as the Beatles transformed the music of the decade. The Beatles commissioned Peter Max for several album covers.
