The artist Peter Max has died at age 88. Max was known for colorful, psychedelic pop art that expressed the optimism of the “flower power” movement of the 1960s and graced everything from postage stamps to a cruise ship. His son said he died Monday. No cause was given. Max began his career in graphic design in the 1960s, and his swirly, colorful, instantly recognizable designs epitomized the era’s “flower power” art. But thanks to his prolific output and fun, accessible style, Max’s work remained well known and popular well into the 21st century. Max was the official artist for the Olympics, the Super Bowl and other events. His portrait subjects ranged from U.S. presidents to Taylor Swift.
