Better World II

Description of Art: Better World II reflects Peter Max’s signature fusion of vivid color fields, cosmic motifs, and idealistic themes. The composition features bold, radiant hues arranged in flowing bands and swirling patterns, framing celestial shapes and symbolic figures. Max’s imagery conveys a utopian vision—a vibrant, harmonious world unified by light and energy.

The work belongs to his celebrated Better World series, created around the turn of the millennium, when Max revisited his iconic 1960s cosmic motifs with renewed optimism. The hand-embellished surface adds subtle texture and individualized painterly touches, blurring the line between print and painting.
