| Norwegian Cruise Line's New Norwegian Breakaway's Peter Max Hull Art Design |
“While
it has been an honor to have my art exhibited in museums and galleries,
I have also enjoyed creating giant
‘canvases’ for public view, including my 600 ft. Woodstock stage, a
giant World’s Fair mural, the body of a Continental 777 super jet, and
now, the hull of Norwegian Breakaway,” said Peter Max from his New York
studio. “The artwork is a composite of New York
City and cosmic imagery— the Statue of Liberty, the Manhattan skyline, a
giant sunburst, planets, stars, and musical notes. That’s my New York!
And now Norwegian Breakaway is my New York cruise ship ‘canvas.’”
“Norwegian Breakaway is New York’s ship and this colorful artwork by
Peter Max will make the ship an instant icon,” said Kevin Sheehan,
Norwegian Cruise Line’s chief executive officer. “The Big Apple is
known for its love of art and its many galleries – and now, Norwegian
Breakaway becomes a floating piece of art that will cruise in and dock
every Saturday on New York’s West Side.
With this distinctive design, unlike anything else
on the water, the ship will be recognizable to the millions of New
Yorkers who will see her as she journeys up and down the Hudson River
each week.”
Peter Max
With paintings on
exhibition in hundreds of museums and galleries worldwide, Max and his
vibrant colors have become part of the fabric of contemporary culture.
Max has been successively
called a Pop Icon, Neo Fauvist, Abstract Expressionist and the United
States’ "Painter Laureate."
Max has achieved his
place in history having painted for various Heads of State, including
six U.S. Presidents. From art that appeared on the first U.S. 10-cent
stamp bearing the
title “Preserve the Environment,” to 235 U.S. Border murals greeting
millions of people entering America each year, Peter Max seeks to
capture themes of America at its finest in his art.
He has a long-standing
career as the preeminent Pop artist in America. His art has appeared on a
Continental Boeing 777 jumbo jet; a 600-foot stage for the Woodstock
Music Festival;
the covers of Verizon's New York City yellow and white pages; and a
giant mural unveiled at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Max has also been
designated Official Artist of five Super Bowls, six Grammy Awards, World
Cup USA, The World Series, the United Nations Earth
Summit, and numerous other events. Max was honored at the Jefferson
Awards with an award for his lifetime dedication to America, and its
charitable causes.
