This striking, vibrant original mixed media work on paper titled "Peace by the Year 2000" is a classic example of Pop Art icon Peter Max's celebrated cosmic style. The piece showcases an ethereal, stylized profile of a face contoured with expressive, fluid brushstrokes and flanked by a radiant aura of fiery yellow, orange, and red tones. This central figure floats elegantly within a deep royal blue background that evokes a dreamlike cosmic atmosphere. The work is hand-signed by the artist in a golden paint pen along the upper-left corner. Beautifully presented with a wide, dramatic black matboard and housed inside an ornate, deeply carved gold-gilded frame, this original mixed media paper piece represents the height of American pop-cultural psychedelia.
