Illustrator's Corner: Peter Max

In the 1960's Max rose to youthful prominence with his now-famous "Cosmic '60s" style, a bold linear type of painting which employed shocking color juxtapositions and depicted transcendental themes. As the Beatles transformed the music of the decade, Peter Max did the same for art.

"I never know what I'm going to put on the canvas. The canvas paints itself. I'm just the middleman." -Peter Max
