Peter Max :
Big Red Flowers #195, n.d.

Mixed Media on Paper
28" x 21"

Description in the alt text 👇

A collector favorite, Peter Max's 'Big Red Flowers' is a lush example of his kinetic, expressionistic brushwork and signature, bold, fauvist color.

Max's flowers fill the piece in a joyous burst - painted with spontaneity, motion and multi-colored brushstrokes. His color palette is an exuberant rainbow executed with energetic swirls and strokes. The work is perpetually in bloom and a joy to behold.

it's like doing a good crossword.
nothing quite like blurting out the exact price 500 milliseconds before the appraiser dude says "$250,000"

"KISS OF THE SPIDER-WOMAN bombed!"
They did essentially no advertising for it, and it's at least two months out of the time of year when musicals do well at the box office. That everything that performed better is also being called out as a bomb says more about the release timing than the quality.

No nation in this history of the world has even been better prepared for becoming a police state. For years, half of all scripted dramas on American television have been about police or military police. And police are the heroes of every one. …

America has a police problem.

In a police state, political power, policing authority, and military action have no clear boundaries.
