- Lot Description
Peter Max (American, b. Germany 1937). "A Better World Version IX" acrylic on canvas, 1991. Signed at lower right. "11099" followed by copyright symbol followed by "Peter Max '91" handwritten on verso. A beautiful painting by Peter Max delineated in his signature expressive style with vibrant color juxtapositions, and a composition that is at once bold yet ethereal. Max presents a stylized profile visage of Eve against a rising sun with a bitten apple below floating above the sea and leafy trees along the shore. A dreamy composition mounted in a custom white frame with a fabric-covered mat as well as red and yellow moldings that complement Max's painting perfectly, this original painting has been authenticated by the Peter Max Studio. Size (painting): 12" L x 9.25" W (30.5 cm x 23.5 cm) Size (frame): 23.375" L x 20.375" W (59.4 cm x 51.8 cm)
About the artist: Born in Berlin, Peter Max moved frequently with his family, living in more than six countries until they settled in the United States. Max studied in New York City at the Art Students League, the Pratt Institute, and the School of Visual Art. Max has been revered as a visionary Pop Artist since the 1960's, beloved for his "Cosmic '60s" style which would later evolve to Neo Expressionism. Max developed a bold style of painting using striking Fauvist colors and intriguing themes. As he evolved from Pop to Neo-Expressionism, his work became more painterly and sensuous. Max's unique symbolism and vibrant color palette have continued to inspire new generations of Americans throughout the decades.
Please Note: This piece has been authenticated by the Peter Max Studio.
