An iconic pop art silkscreen on paper titled "I Love the World (Retro Suite II)" by famed artist Peter Max. Hand signed in pencil on the bottom right with an annotation of 52/300 on the bottom left. Embossed stamp on the bottom left from the Peter Max Studios with a 1994 publication date. Peter Max created the sketch for "I Love the World" while backstage at the Live-Aid concert in 1985. It was the most high-profile music event of the era raising money for famine relief in Ethiopia. Max was so inspired by the generosity and outpouring of caring from the event that he drew an angel embracing the planet. In this painting, sumptuous, textural brushstrokes create fullness and depth in the angel, her embrace and the world. Her profile is created with gentle, minimalist strokes; contrasted with the exuberant color and thick, energetic brushwork of her hair and the globe she lovingly holds. The painting is reminiscent of a High Renaissance or later Art Nouveau feminine relief profile. From a private collection. Purchased Sundook Fine Art Galleries in Boca Raton, FL in 1998. Dimensions: 25"h x 24.75"w (framed). In very good vintage condition. Peter Max is a German-American artist known for using bright colors in his work. His works are associated with the visual arts and culture of the 1960s, particularly psychedelic art and pop art. He has had countless commissions and exhibitions throughout his artistic career and his work has been described as the landscape of the 1960s and 1970s.
