{"product_id":"read-re-issue","title":"Read, Peter Max (Re-Issue)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis vibrant poster by Peter Max transforms the simple act of reading into a cosmic journey of consciousness. Reproduced in the Peter Max Poster Book published by Crown Publishers in 1970, this piece represents Max at the height of his cultural influence. A standout piece for collectors of psychedelic art, library memorabilia, or anyone drawn to the cosmic optimism of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreated for National Library Week 1969, the design features Max's signature psychedelic imagery: two profiles (male and female) frame a mystical landscape where Mount Fuji rises behind a meditating sage, while the sacred OM symbol emerges from an open book below. The message is clear: reading opens doorways to wisdom and unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMax described the imagery as representing 'oneness,' with the male and female concentrating together on the OM, leading to 'the foundations of knowledge and wisdom.' This philosophy perfectly captured the late 1960s fusion of Eastern spirituality with Western pop culture. The poster demonstrates how psychedelic art moved from underground concert halls into mainstream American institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.75\" x 10.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peter Max\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
