'60s pop art icon keeps on trucking
When we think of Peter Max, the last person who comes to mind is Norman Rockwell .
Both names are synonymous with American art, but one is known for creating the heartland family album, while the other will always be the cosmic chronicler of the turbulent '60s. It's like the generation gap personified in art.
Surprisingly, it doesn't take anywhere near six degrees of separation to connect the two.
Max's story begins with his parents fleeing Nazi Germany with their young son in 1938. The family lived in Shanghai and Israel before finally settling in Brooklyn in the '50s. Young Peter wanted to be an astronomer, but he was good at art and, egged on by a classmate, began his formal art training in 1956 at the Art Students League in Manhattan. His teacher was an artist named Frank Reilly .
“Believe it or not,” Max said in his thick New Yawk accent during a recent telephone conversation, “when Frank was a young art student, who do you think sat next to him? A guy by the name of Norman Rockwell. So Rockwell and Reilly were buddies in art school, and in that same classroom was where I studied art for seven years.”
Max will show a collection of artwork, including recent portraits of singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and “American Idol” host Steven Tyler , as well as iconic images of Texas such his take on the Lone Star flag and a Dallas Cowboys helmet, at the Russell Collection in the Shops at La Cantera beginning Friday. He will be on hand to discuss and sign his works during two receptions Aug. 13-14.
“I studied realism, so I knew how to draw and paint very well,” Max, accessible and friendly, a talker, continues. “I was very skillful in drawing hands and faces. It's so important to have a good foundation.”
Then, as so often happens, “One thing led to another.” Max began illustrating children's books and record covers in his small studio.
“And then I veered off into abstraction, composing large pieces, small pieces, color next to color, which had nothing to do with anatomy. But if anatomy had to play a role in it, I had it in me,” he said.
