Artist Bio: Peter Max (b. 1937) was born in Berlin and spent his childhood in Shanghai, where his family had fled in 1938, before living in Israel and Paris and arriving in New York in 1953. He studied at the Art Students League and began as a commercial artist and designer, and by the late 1960s his flat, saturated colors, cosmic figures and flowing lines had become the visual signature of the era. In 1969 he appeared on the cover of Life magazine, and his posters and product designs carried his style into millions of American homes.

From the 1970s Max turned increasingly to painting, in loose, expressive brushwork, and returned again and again to a set of personal emblems: the Statue of Liberty, which he first painted for the bicentennial in 1976, the American flag, hearts, flowers, suns and the angel figures that run through his later work. Many of his works on paper combine hand painting in acrylic with color printed from his own images. "Better World III" is a mixed media painting in acrylic over color lithography, signed by the artist.
