This unusual ceramic portrait features an image incised into ceramic tile. As a whole, the image may be a self portrait showing the artist's interior life and imagination. The focal point of the image is a man's face in profile. At the bottom of the composition, within the face, is a figure standing with its back to the viewer. To the right is a man standing with his hand held out and to the left is a beach scene with a ship, clouds and birds on the horizon. This is indeed a complex image yet retains Peter Max's sense of artistic joy.
