Like Frank Sinatra, Peter Max is an American
pop culture icon, who rose to fame and prominence
originally in the mid to late 1960s, when his artwork
captured the spirit of the ’60’s generation. Comparable
to Andy Warhol’s subjects, Peter Max has painted
portraits of many world-renowned public figures.
His portrait list includes the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Elvis
Presley, Mick Jagger, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson,
President Clinton, Martin Luther King, Jr., The Dalai
Lama, Derek Jeter, Shaquille O’Neal, Taylor Swift, and
many more.
Peter’s paintings of the Statue of Liberty
are symbolic of his patriotism.
