Description

This vibrant, unique original painting by Pop Art icon Peter Max is titled "Better World." The composition features one of his most celebrated and visually arresting signature imagery sets: a minimalist, linear profile of a human face seamlessly integrated into a monumental, radiant blazing sun. The sun descends over a calm, multi-colored body of water carrying a lone, stylized sailboat in the distance. The scene is flanked by lush, impasto-heavy trees rendered in rich greens, yellows, and magentas, all framed under a sky filled with Max’s characteristic sweeping, gestural white and blue brushstrokes.

The work features a thick, fluidly applied red acrylic face signature "MAX" in the lower right corner. The reverse presents flawless gallery and authentication provenance, highlighted by a stamped copyright directly on the canvas canvas backing "© PETER MAX 2016" alongside a unique registration serial number (397728). Additionally, the dust cover features a professional gallery processing label from an auction event in Tampa dated 05/15/2022. The artwork is comprehensively presented in a premium gallery format, housed in a wide, highly ornate metallic-toned distressed wood frame with a clean white inner linen mat.
