Peter Max Mixed Media Artwork, Abstract Composition

This item is a framed mixed media artwork by Peter Max, dating from 1992 based on the visible signature and date. The artwork is characterized by an abstract composition, primarily featuring broad, expressive brushstrokes and areas of vibrant color, overlaid with energetic calligraphic black line work. The dominant colors include various shades of red, blue, black, green, and purple, applied in a somewhat gestural manner, creating distinct blocks and overlapping forms. The black lines appear to be charcoal, pastel, or oil stick, adding texture and defining abstract shapes and perhaps rudimentary facial features or figures within the broader color fields. The medium appears to be a combination of acrylic or gouache paints and possibly crayon, oil pastel, or charcoal on paper. The paper itself has deckled or slightly uneven edges, suggesting it is a heavy art paper or torn from a larger sheet. The overall condition of the artwork appears good, with no obvious tears or significant disfigurement visible, maintaining its original vibrant colors. The artwork is presented within a white mat and a black frame, indicating it has been protected and displayed. The craftsmanship is typical of Peter Max's style, known for its bold colors and pop art influences, showcasing a confident and fluid application of media. The visible signature 'Max' and '1992' in the upper right quadrant are distinguishing features that confirm both the artist and the year of creation.
