Description
This one-of-a-kind original mixed media on paper, titled "Lady and Sailboat", is a vibrant example of Peter Max's iconic Pop Art style. The artwork is hand-signed and dated "Max '96" in the upper right quadrant by the artist, indicating its creation in 1996.
The piece captures one of Max's recurring themes, featuring a stylized female profile in the foreground with a whimsical landscape including a sailboat and a sunset in the background. The composition utilizes bold black ink line work over dynamic, flowing washes of watercolor in typical psychedelic hues of green, blue, pink, and yellow, lending the work an ethereal quality.
