So I just recently heard about Peter Max earlier this week in another class and decided to look more into his work on the internet. I'm sooo happy I did! I love his poster designs. Turns out he was a really big artist in the 60's & 70's. This piece called Mexico was made in 1970 and it's a silkscreen print. It's probably obvious why I like it lol, I'm loving the colors. I gravitate to a lot of artwork that's bright and colorful. It looks fun and I like the way Max shows repetition in this print. There's a face within another face within another face and they're surrounding by flowers. Overall this has a 70's feel to it and that's what I'm really into!
Check out his website
Yeah this guys definitely classic. I've been pretty influenced by his work over the years. Also we have the same name so naturally i would like him.
ReplyDeleteWow the colors in this just makes me imagine being in some old hippie van with black lights, in a good way though.
ReplyDeleteit took me a moment to see the other faces. i like how they all build into one another almost effortlessly
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the faces at first either. Having a somewhat hidden element like that makes a piece way more interesting, I think.
