[edit] Not the Yellow Submarine artist

In case anyone is tempted to add this info to the article, please note that Peter Max was not the artist, nor the inspiration, behind the Beatles' Yellow Submarine. That was another German-born graphic designer, Heinz Edelman. - dcljr 07:32, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Funny, his gallerist made exactly this claim to me when I saw his exhibition in San Francisco. Edelman has denied the claim. --Gorgonzilla 13:44, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting "mostly patriotic" line

I'm deleting the line that says Max produced "mostly patriotic works of art" -- I've looked at his available works, and can't find anything that qualifies as specifically "patriotic" aside from his poster to benefit the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial Fund and his "Flag with Heart" series.

[edit] Infamous?

What makes the Peter Max-painted 777 "infamous"? Kafziel ^Talk 20:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

it should be noted that not only is the plane certainly NOT infamous, it is also an idea taken directly from Alexander Calder's paintging of Branif jets in the mid 70s. The idea is neither new nor infamous. Maybe the original writer doesn't understand the meaning of the word infamous.

[edit] Dale Earnhardt had a scheme that was inspired by Mr. Max

i think that should be added, at the 2000 winston, dale sr ran a multi-colored car which was desighned by sam bass, but it was inspired by peter max —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Racerboy (talk • contribs) 04:43, 10 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Cut-n-Paste job? No references, no markup

There was an masse re-edit that overwrote whatever previous article was in progress... It looks kind of like a cut-n-paste job from somewhere. Without any references, I would tend to believe that this is a possible copyright violation... Michael (talk|contrib) 06:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I just noticed that the previous edit (mentioned above) was just made earlier this evening; sorry if I edited your work-in-progress. Michael (talk|contrib) 06:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cow pic?

Is there really a cow pic "courtesy of" the farm? If so, did it get lost along the way? also, I wikified some of the admiring language into something more encyclopedic. Hope that's okay.Julia Rossi 00:48, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
