Peter Max commemorates Taylor Swift

Monday, December 13, 2010 – Peter Max has painted a new portrait of Taylor Swift to commemorate her newest album, "Speak Now," which is available to the public for the first time this week.

The "Speak Now" portrait is Max's second time to immortalize Swift's album art. He unveiled a series of four portraits of her "Fearless" album earlier this year in a series of gallery showings. Max has gifted his first "Fearless" original work to Swift, but now the Max portraits, from both "Fearless" and "Speak Now," are available as poster artwork and as commissioned originals.

Max's Taylor Swift works are being sold exclusively on www.TaylorSwift.com.

The Max / Swift relationship began when Max painted a portrait of Taylor's Fearless album cover upon learning that Taylor was launching her 2010 Fearless tour in Tampa the same week that he had a gallery showing there.

"I've been doing portraits of iconic musicians for so many years, and it is a pleasure to add Taylor Swift to the collection," said Max. "She is one of the most beautiful and talented stars we have today."

Swift is a lifelong fan of his, having often seen his work on display in the Ocean Gallery in Stone Harbor, N.J. Swift remembered walking past the gallery window many times as a child and young teen. Max's Fearless portraits were featured in several gallery exhibitions, but were not available for sale.

CD review - Speak Now Taylor Swift has made the best CD of her young career with her fourth CD. The biggest difference is that Swift's singing, spotty on previous releases and live performances, is far far superior here. Swift wrote all 14 songs here, which like her other albums tend to deal with relationships that have gone south. Swift's songwriting always has been one of her strengths, and that continues to be the case here - both lyrically and musically. Put simply, Swift knows a lot about penning ...
CD review - Fearless Taylor Swift took the county world by storm with her huge selling debut and its five hit singles. With a huge marketing push and myspace, Swift was on her way. Kind of like an Avril Lavigne for the teen female country set. Sophomore slump? There's no indication of that. Swift once again writes her material - all 13 songs here with help sometimes from Liz Rose, Colbie Caillat and John Rich. Swift writes of what she knows about - relationships and teen love come and gone in songs speak to her fans. ...
