MONK AND VASE is an original hand drawn lithograph by the renowned American Pop artist, Peter Max, printed in 1980 in an edition of 165, using traditional hand lithography techniques on archival Somerset paper, 100% acid free. Dreamy, abstract black line drawing of a Pop Art interior scene depicting a bald headed monk dressed in a narrow striped, orange brown robe with blue sleeves. His body seems to lean toward the left as he moves forward carrying a cattail to place in the decorative orange brown floor vase already filled with blue anthurium flowers set in the right corner of the room's interior. MONK AND VASE is a delightful fantasy picture expressed in lively colors of light orange brown, light blue, yellow, pink, red, light purple, green and black. Print size - 26.5 x 21.5 inches Edition size - 165 Year published - 1980 PETER MAX (German/American, b. 1937) Max and his family escaped Nazi Germany and fled to the Orient, immigrating to the United States in 1953. Exposed to the paintings of Buddhist monks as a child, Max continued to exhibit a strong fascination with Eastern mysticism throughout his career. He studied the teachings of Eastern mystics and began practicing yoga under Swami Satchidananda, developing a discipline that helped inform and mold his art work as well as many of his personal convictions in life. As he told Publishers Weekly: "What fascinates and drives me is that man and his acts are insignificant, microscopic in terms of the continual evolution of the universe . . . . "
