A quintessential example of Peter Max’s psychedelic Pop Art style from the early 1970s, Crab Nebular Man depicts a futuristic, winged figure rendered in bold, vibrant hues of orange, green, pink, and blue against a neutral ground. The composition radiates Max’s cosmic and countercultural sensibility, blending surrealism and celestial imagery with fluid, graphic outlines. The figure’s wing-like extensions and surrounding planetary forms evoke themes of space exploration and transcendence—hallmarks of Max’s “Cosmic” period.
