Original Signed Peter Max Paintings & Lithographs

Peter max was born in 1937 in Berlin, Germany. His Family moved a number of times before finally settling down in the United States in 1953. Peter Max studied Fine Arts in New York at the Art Students League, Pratt Institute, and the School of Visual Arts. Apparently Max adopted the name "Max" from fellow students and then aspiring artist, Max Oppenheimin. After completing his studies, Peter Max opened a design studio and gained international success as a designer for books, posters and product advertisements. In an effort to spend more time on his own personal artistic career, Peter Max closed his studio in 1964. It was following this transition that he began to produce his own signature silk-screens and lithographs, characterized by his use of bright colors and painterly mark making.

Peter Max's work, which he called "up art," was a part of the psychedelic movement in graphic design during the early 1960's. His work was extraordinarily influential and highly imitated in advertising design throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Pictured above is the original Peter Max acrylic painting on paper titled Mick Jagger. Peter Max created a number of Mick Jagger lithographs in 1969. He later recalled this edition due to a disagreement with the photographer (whose photo Max's lithographs were based on), and painted over the original lithographs with acrylic paint. . Pictured above is one these remarkable paintings that evolved from his original lithographs.

Original Henri Matisse Etchings

Henri Matisse's images of dancers and of human figures in general, convey expressive form first and the particular details of anatomy secondarily. Matisse extended this principle into other fields; his bronze sculptures, drawings and works in etching and lithography, reveal the same expressive contours seen in his paintings. Although intellectually sophisticated, Matisse always emphasized the importance of instinct and intuition in the production of a work of art. He felt that an artist did not have complete control over color and form; instead, colors, shapes and lines would come to dictate to the sensitive artist how they might be employed in relation to one another. He often emphasized his joy in abandoning himself to the play of the forces of color and design. He explained the rhythmic but distorted forms of many of his figures in terms of them working out of a total pictorial harmony.

This lovely original Henri Matisse portrait, Tete de Margeurite, was published in 1920.. Georgetown Frame Shoppe not only has this etching, but a wonderful array of original lithographs and etchings created throughout Matisse's artistic career. We invite everyone to view this inspiring work and others on our website.

Original Hand Signed Bernard Buffet Lithographs

Bernard Buffet was born July 10, 1928 in Paris, France. In December 1943, he entered the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts where he studied Fine Arts for two years.

It was here that Raymond Cogniat purchased Nature Morte au Poulet for the Paris National Museum of Modern Art.
