March 23-24, there was an art exhibit and sale celebrating the world’s most famous living pop artist, Peter Max.
Today, Peter Max is best known for his portraits of celebrities, and the show will feature images of Bruce Springsteen, Taylor swift, and others. Although many artists prefer to pain their subjects live, Max paints from photographs. But he does meet each subject and has a vast network of celebrity connections. The artist has said it would require a “ring binder” to give you a run-down of all his celebrity clients and friends. With friends past and present including Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Michael Douglas, and Muhammad Ali, it is no wonder why he’d need that binder. In fact, Peter Max has reached the rare upper echelon of artists who can be considered celebrities themselves.
Max was not always a famous celebrity portrait painter. His career got its start in the 1960s, when Peter Max paintings single handled propelled the poster craze where psychedelic images became iconic representations of the counter-cultural movement. Although many would have been content to continuing churning out what made them famous, Peter Max was both a visionary artist and visionary. He transitioned his subject matter to keep up with the changing times, which created a reputation for Max as not only a great artist, but a pop artist on the cusp of new trends. In the 1970s, he began creating patriotic images like his Liberty Head series. Max also painted a number of world leaders, including six U.S. Presidents. This experience in portraiture soon lent itself to capturing the likeness of other celebrities.
Peter Max has imbedded himself deep within modern popular culture, where he has been a main stay since the 1960s. It is no wonder he is considered the world’s most famous living pop artist, with a career he has managed to morph and stretch into dominance over the genre for more than 50 years. In addition to the posters, monuments, celebrities, and Presidents, he can also add working as the official artist for the Grammy Awards for 6 years, the Super Bowl, the World Series, the Kentucky Derby, and more.
Because of his long and varied career, each Peter Max fan has their favorite era. For some, he will forever being the psychedelic, 1960s counter-cultural; for others, he will be the man that brought them Taylor Swift on a canvas. Depending on what piece they see, different people link Max to the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and today. But, throughout all of Peter Max’s career transitions, his style has remained quintessentially Peter Max. The bold, vibrant colors, brushstrokes, and clever use of line, all immediately give away a work of Art as a Max piece. In many ways, Peter Max has it all: An artist that can change with the times to stay fresh and relevant, while also maintaining a signature style. His work is at once always consistent and ever changing. He has a pulse on pop culture, but also a pulse on himself. And maybe that’s what it takes to be the world’ most famous living pop artist.

One thing we found interesting to do in the old Islamic district of Cairo is to visit some of the religious monuments and mosques. This part of Cairo is dominated by the Citadel and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali (seen here). The Citadel fortification – the wall – is very old. It dates back to medieval times and was built to protect the area from the Crusaders. The Mosque is much younger, built between 1828 and 1848. The dilapidated houses in the foreground are quite typical of the Islamic district, the poorest and most overcrowded part of the capital.
