Audio interview with artist Peter Max, coming to Dallas Sept. 12-13
Artist Peter Max, whose psychedelic, vibrantly colored compositions practically defined the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, will be paying a visit to Dallas next weekend.
Max will be accompanying a roadshow collection of his artwork to the Samuel Lynne Galleries in the Design District, where he'll appear in person on Saturday, Sept. 12 (5-8 p.m.) and Sunday, Sept. 13 (1-4 p.m.).
It would have been impossible to be alive and conscious in the 1960s and 1970s without being familiar with Max's heavily stylized, commercially successful cosmic compositions -- which have carried over quite comfortably into the new millennium, as evidenced by the cover art Max created for the January 2000 issue of Playboy.
I spoke with Peter Max by telephone last Wednesday (Sept. 2); the audio of our conversation lasts about 8 1/2 minutes, during which Max discusses his early interest in astronomy, his brush (pun intended) with graphic realism, and the way technology has changed his workflow.
To see where and when Peter Max will be making future public appearances, go to Petermax.com.
OH - and if you bring a copy of his art book to the gallery, Max will be pleased to sign it -- and include a little personalized doodle, to boot.

I want to point out Peter Max had NOTHING to do with the art direction or design in the film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Submarine_%28film%29">Yellow Submarine</a>, the designs and ideas were by the late great <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_Edelmann">Heinz Edelmann</a>.
