#12 Captain Midnight

Peter Max is a German-born American Pop artist known for his distinctive psychedelic style that resonated with the countercultural movements of the 1960s and 70s. Max’s art, filled with bright, acidic colors and kaleidoscopic compositions, reflected his interest in mysticism and space exploration and is often associated with the visual language of American pop culture. His subjects range from contemporary figures to scenes of the cosmos to American symbols, and his notable commissions have included official artwork for the Super Bowl and the World Cup. Despite controversies late in his career, Max’s legacy endures, a technicolor testament to the power of art in shaping, and reflecting, the spirit of its time.
