Max Shertz Portfolio - 1990's

Shertz went from figurative works in the 60's and 70's, to semi-abstract in the 80's, to mostly abstract works starting in 1990, with a new creative process. He called the works from this period his "Art of the Unconscious" Throughout his lifetime, Shertz always painted spontaneously and automatically without any preconceived ideas. However, with his works from the 90's forward, he reached a new dimension, working from what he called the "Unconscious". In his new "Art of the Unconscious", the works are extremely intricate. It is hard to imagine that these works were not initially composed or planned, but the images flowed from the artist "like notes would, giving birth to symphonies". Max wrote a series of essays about his new artistic process titled Frontiers of Ecstasy where the following quotes are taken from which can be found on his website by following this link:
