Peter Max: Various Posters

2

Peter Max is an American immigrant artist, whose colorful and bright works heavily informed and influenced the “hippie” aesthetics of the late 60s and early 70s. The book these posters were found in was published in 1971. It contains high quality scans for his best works, as well as small snippets of his personal life, which include children's fan mail and photos of his parents. 

After graduating from SVA, Petter Max became an integral figure in the art behind the hippies movement in the U.S. Max became a pop culture figure after appearing on many TV shows such as The NBC Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and The Ed Sullivan Show. Max has appeared on the 1969 cover of time, and done the art for 1987 cover of Peoples Magazine.  Inspired by inner and outer space, his psychedelic work was quoted by critics as “the visual arts counterpart to the music of the Beatles."
