Signed and Dated. One of Peter Max's most beloved recurring subjects, the Angel with Heart exemplifies his signature fusion of cosmic optimism and exuberant color. Here the iconic winged figure is rendered in translucent acrylic, its luminous form hand-painted by the artist in swirling blues, purples, pinks, and greens — cascading hearts and swirls animating the surface with the joyful, free-flowing energy that has made Max one of the most recognized artists of his generation. The translucency of the acrylic sculpture interacts beautifully with the painted surface, giving the work an inner glow that shifts with the light. Signed and dated by the artist, this is a vibrant and uplifting object — as much decorative treasure as fine art sculpture.
