Peter Max, a famous artist from the United States, died at the age of 88. His son, Adam Max, announced that Peter died on Monday, but the family did not say the cause. Peter Max was well known for his bright, colourful art with rainbows, suns, stars, and symbols of America. His pictures were not only in galleries, but also on posters, clothes, and many other everyday things.

Peter Max became famous in the 1960s when many young people wanted change and believed in peace and love. This was called the “flower power” movement. Peter’s art used strong colours and happy images, which matched the spirit of that time. He started life as a refugee, leaving Germany with his family because of the Nazis, and growing up in several countries before moving to New York.

Because of his unique style, Peter Max’s artwork became popular everywhere in America. His colourful pictures could be seen in many places, including on stamps, planes, and even the Statue of Liberty. He continued to make art for many years, and today people remember him for making art part of everyday life.
