Umbrella Man On Blend Ver. VIII #31

Acrylic on Canvas

10" x 8" 

The 'Umbrella Man' is one of Peter Max's most famous signature characters that emerged during his 'Neo-Fauve' painting period of the 1980s. Originally inspired by a famous photograph of the cellist Pablo Casals, playing his cello on the beach, 'Umbrella Man' is a Felliniesque character, with a coat, hat and umbrella rendered in a surge of colors looking into the horizon ahead. 

'Umbrella Man On Blends' holds an unusual color contrast for the artist - planes of rich, deep hues paint his coat, hat and umbrella with highlights of lighter textural and kinetic brushwork close by. Umbrella Man looks into a soft, color-blend sky, punctuated at top by a rich cerulean blue. The work holds a bold and soft, unexpected, fauvist color palette.
