He began painting, and soon rose * to prominence in the mid 1960's with expressionistic art that explored * wild color juxtapositions. His work in the 1970's included a commission * for a postage stamp in the theme of environmental preservation, a cause * in which he devoted himself. Max has painted four former U.S. * Presidents: Carter, Ford, Bush and Reagan. His concern for world peace * has led to his involvement in some significant political events, * including stamp designs for the first United Nations Environmental * Summit, and a carving from a portion of the Berlin Wall. He has been the * official artist for the World Cup USA, the Super Bowl, and the Grammy * Awards. His awards are numerous, and include honorable recognition for * product, fashion, food, book, and poster designs. His latest project is a * collaboration with computer effects producer Silicon Graphics. Peter * Max has continued his optimistic world vision into the new Millennium, * and strives to be a "Global Artist." *
