Happy Earth Day
Earth Day Posters~
Earth Day Art. Here's a fun link to check out a few of the Earth Day Posters made through the years. My favs are from Rauschenberg and Max. The late Robert Rauschenberg was an American artist and made the very first Earth Day Poster made in 1970 with his mixed media "combines." The brightly colored poster from German born artist, Peter Max in 1992 is also one of my favs, reminiscent of the 60's. I LOVE his use of color. Wow. Happy Earth Day everyone ~
