Description: Peter Max has achieved huge success and world-wide recognition for his artistic accomplishments as a multi-dimensional artist. From visionary Pop artist of the 1960s, to master of dynamic Neo Expressionism, his vibrant colors have become part of the fabric of contemporary American culture. Known as a "Global Artist" showing the need for greater responsibility to our planet, his creative talents have served important global and world events. During his career, he has been regarded as a passionate environmentalist and defender of human and animal rights, and many of his works have been dedicated to these noteworthy causes. His principles of freedom and democracy are depicted with his famous paintings of American icons of freedom including Lady Liberty and the American Flag. Max received his formal art education in the 1950s at the Art Students League of New York in Manhattan, where he studied anatomy, figure drawing, and composition under the tutelage of Frank J. Reilly. He 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 counterculture with its flamboyant use of bright rainbow colors and psychedelic images. This example of his work is the 126th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, May 6, 2000.
