God Bless America V

Description of Art: God Bless America V (Profile / Angel with Heart) reflects Peter Max’s iconic blend of patriotic symbolism and spiritual imagery. The work features a stylized angel in profile, holding or accompanied by a glowing heart—an emblem of love, compassion, and hope. The composition combines grace with bold design, presenting the angel not as a traditional figure but as a modern, pop-art icon radiating peace.

Max’s hallmark palette brings vibrancy to the scene: luminous reds, whites, and blues underscore the patriotic theme, while radiant yellows and other vivid hues infuse the work with warmth and optimism. Fluid brushstrokes and simplified contours lend the figure both elegance and universality, while the heart glows as a central symbol of divine love and national spirit.

With God Bless America V, Max merges cosmic spirituality and patriotic celebration, creating a visual anthem that honors both love of country and the higher ideals of unity and compassion. The painting captures his unique ability to translate deep themes into colorful, uplifting imagery.
