Description
This is a rare opportunity to have your portrait painted by Peter Max, the artist whose visual impact on the '60s has often been compared to the influence the Beatles had on music. Peter Max has been designated as the Official Artist for the Grammy’s, several Super Bowls, the World Cup USA, the US Open, and the NHL All-Star Game. He has painted portraits of stars such as Mick Jagger, Elvis, Dale Earnhardt, Steve Tyler, Michael Jordan, Jack Nicklaus, and Muhammad Ali, not to mention many former US Presidents, including Clinton, Reagan, Bush, Carter, and Ford. His recent artwork dedicated to President Obama was revealed this past January on the CBS Early Show. Max pieced together 44 “Obama” portraits to represent his election as the 44th president.
Now you can join their ranks! Send in three photos to Peter Max and you’ll receive an amazing one-of-a-kind portrait on canvas (mixed media on canvas - 20" x 24").
