About this audiobook
Peter Max was born in Berlin in 1937, Max and his family fled Nazi Germany in 1938, settling in Shanghai before eventually immigrating to the United States in 1953. Max studied at the Art Students League and Pratt Institute in New York, where he began experimenting with new techniques and styles. Max's artwork is characterized by its vibrant colors and whimsical subject matter. His work was heavily influenced by the psychedelic and countercultural movements of the 1960s, and he became one of the most recognized artists of the era. Max's paintings, drawings, and sculptures have been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, and his designs have been featured on everything from postage stamps to the sides of airplanes.
