Waiting for EH. . . .

So… we have a living male, over 75, born in Europe and living in America

Known from Arts but not best known for TV, film, performing, literature, or genre.

First name begins with N-Z.

Made the cover of Life; probably puts his best achievement between 1950-1970.

Okay – time for Firstname-Lastname questions. Please ask them by 2100, Wednesday 27 Jul.

Sorry - been offline a few days.

Previous IQs:

Were you Capt. Aubrey’s particular friend? - Yes, Dr. Stephen Maturin, in Patrick O’Brian’s Napoleonic naval adventures
Were you a Seventies Congresswoman with a particularly WASPy name? - Millicent Fenwick (R-NJ)
Did you play Tony Soprano’s pissed-off mom? - Nancy Marchand (and no, he just had one; she played Frasier’s mom on Cheers, too!)

Can’t figure out who this guy is…

Oops. “Wednesday 29 July”.

No, you don’t get several years to think this over.

I’m not sure I could guess it by 2100.

Maybe 2112… don’t rush me…

Well, I remember Peter Max, but I wasn’t playing this round. I’d have guessed Bob Mackie.

I was completely cluelesz. Art is not a strong point

Yes, I know who Peter Max is.

Peter Max, based on your image.

Good choice for this game.

I may have seen art in this style before, but do not know the name Peter Max.

Peter Max was THE name in pop/psychedelic art in the 60s/early 70s.

I recognize both the picture and the name of the artist. Good one, SCAdian!
