Peter Max 'Pelican' Mixed Media Graphic Art

This is a vibrant and colorful work of art, likely a mixed media lithograph or serigraph, by the world-renowned pop artist Peter Max. The central image features a stylized pelican rendered in bold, whimsical brushstrokes against a warm sunset-inspired background. The color palette is dominated by intense oranges, deep reds, and varying shades of blue and green on the bird's plumage. The artwork exhibits Max's signature Neo-Expressionist style, blending graphic line work with fluid, painterly textures. In the lower right corner, there is a prominent, fluid graphite or marker signature, characteristic of the artist. The image is centrally positioned on a large white paper substrate, which is a common presentation for his smaller editioned works or posters. It is housed in a simple, thin burgundy-toned frame with a protective glazing, although a ring-light reflection is visible in the photograph. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible foxing, yellowing, or paper degradation, though it would require inspection outside of the frame for a final condition report. The piece exemplifies the optimistic and psychedelic aesthetic that Max popularized beginning in the late 1960s, though this specific piece likely dates from the late 20th or early 21st century given the refined line work.
