“Buddha Moon (Monk Sunrise)” is an artwork created by the artist Peter Max in 1999. The piece belongs to the Pop Art movement and is classified as a landscape genre.
The artwork features a vividly colored depiction of a monk standing with an umbrella in the foreground, gazing at an abstract and highly stylized sunrise or sunset. The use of bold and vibrant colors captures the essence of Pop Art, with the sun depicted as an exaggerated circular form in shades of red, blue, and orange. The monk is adorned in a flowing robe with a palette of colors similar to the background, creating a harmonious blend. The elements within the artwork, including linear lines and abstract forms, come together to evoke a serene yet dynamic landscape. The overall effect is both striking and meditative, characteristic of Peter Max’s distinctive style.
