Peter Max Limited Edition Hand-Pulled Lithograph of Flowers

Item Details

A signed limited edition hand-pulled lithograph on Somerset fine printmaking paper by well-listed and renowned German-American Pop artist Peter Max (born 1937). The print’s title is unknown. It depicts a stunniung floral bouquet housed in a rounded vase. Spraypaint-like splashes of color are scattered across the scene, and are accented with thick black linework. The print is signed in-plate to the lower right and is numbered 286/350 in pencil to the lower left. The print is presented without matting or framing, awaiting your choice of presentation. Max received his formal art education in the 1950s at the Art Students League of New York in Manhattan, where he studied under the tutelage of Frank J. Reilly. Max began his career in illustration and graphic arts by creating collage-based works using elements taken from antique photographs. His interest in astronomy led to his self-described “Cosmic ’60s” period, where his art became a symbol of the counter-culture with its flamboyant use of bright rainbow colors and psychedelic images. American icons such as Bill Clinton, Taylor Swift, and Mohammed Ali appear in his works, along with other elements such as the Statue Of Liberty, peace signs, butterflies, and flying saucers.
