When you think of 1968, you think of riots, assassinations, the Vietnam war, the youth revolt, the backlash and the songs that reflected it all. It was the year of “Hey, Jude,” “Revolution” and “Street Fighting Man” the last two making it clear that wealthy rock stars didn’t want to push this youth revolt thing too far. It was also the year James Brown, in “Say It Loud (I’m Black and I’m Proud),” told his fellow Americans that blacks would “rather die on our feet than keep livin’ on our knees.” At least he had some grit when he wasn’t cozying up to Hubert Humphrey. Strange days.
When Peter Max left art school, Max had become fascinated with new trends in commercial illustration and graphic arts, from America as well as Europe and Japan. He decided to try his hand at it and within a short time, he won awards for album covers and book jackets, which combined his own brand of realism with graphic art techniques. Max also admired the work of contemporary photographers such as Bert Stern, Richard Avedon, and Irving Penn, which led to his photo collage period, in which he had captured the psychedelic era of the mid’60s.
