 Peter
Max was born in Berlin in 1937, and spent his childhood in China,
Tibet, Africa, Middle East, Europe, and finally settled in the
United States.
In the 1960s Max rose
to youthful prominence with his famous won style, a bold linear type
of painting which employed shocking color juxtapositions and
depicted transcendental themes. As his expressionistic style
evolved, becoming more sensuous and painterly, his unique symbolism
and vibrant color palette have continued to inspire new generations
of Americans throughout the decades.
In 1981 he painted
six liberty portraits for the America President and Mrs. Reagan, and
in 1993, his famous ‘100 Clintons’ installation. Max has painted
for five American presidents; Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and
Clinton.
Max has had
approximately forty museum shows internationally, and more than
fifty gallery shows worldwide. His works appear in the prominent
collections of many museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in
New York. |
