Peter Max (American, b. Germany 1937). "Disney Mickey Mouse 2010 Ver. 1 #5" mixed media with acrylic on paper, 2010. Signed at lower right. An impressive homage to Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse by Peter Max. "Disney Mickey Mouse" is a mixed media composition with hand-painted acrylic throughout that is also hand-signed by the artist. Delineated in Max's signature bold style with painterly brushstrokes and vibrant color juxtapositions, this piece presents the head of the loveable Mickey Mouse at the center of the composition, posed with left hand on hip and right hand extended in a friendly gesture. Painterly passages in shades of royal blue, hot pink, purple, red, yellow, and periwinkle complement the iconic mouse. This central image is outlined with a painted blue border, and surrounded by a graduated pink to violet background which is further embellished by expressive painterly gestures in a rainbow of hues with the artist's signature at the lower right. Size: 11" L x 8.5" W (27.9 cm x 21.6 cm)

About the artist: Born in Berlin, Peter Max moved frequently with his family, living in more than six countries until they settled in the United States. Max studied in New York City at the Art Students League, the Pratt Institute, and the School of Visual Art. Max has been revered as a visionary Pop Artist since the 1960's, beloved for his "Cosmic '60s" style which would later evolve to Neo Expressionism. Max developed a bold style of painting using striking Fauvist colors and intriguing themes. As he evolved from Pop to Neo-Expressionism, his work became more painterly and sensuous. Max's unique symbolism and vibrant color palette have continued to inspire new generations of Americans throughout the decades.
