Signed Peter Max Offset Lithograph "Dega with Heart"

Item Details

By Hand

A signed offset lithograph after the original work titled Dega with Heart by well listed artist Peter Max (American, born 1937). This print which was created after an original painting from 1990, exhibits a central red heart encased by bright rainbow colors and abstract forms. The print is signed ‘Peter Max’ in black pigment near the lower center with signature and date in plate to upper right, and the commercial copyright printed to lower left. The piece is presented in a white wooden frame with a metal gold-tone outer border, and yellow and red acrylic inner border behind glass. A CoA with information regarding the artist is included.

Peter Max received his formal art education in the 1950s at the Art Students League of New York in Manhattan, where he studied under Frank J. Reilly. Max began his career in illustration and the graphic arts by creating collage-based works using elements borrowed from antique photographs. His astronomy interests led to his self-described “Cosmic ’60s” period, where his art became a symbol of the counter-culture defining the times.
