Critical Response
- "Named both for '60s art icon Peter Max and for a relative, the painter works in a fashion that is Jackson Pollock-ish but with his own twist." The Pitch, Kansas City, Kansas
- "Here's a show that sounds a little scarier than it is. Peter Max Lawrence's monsters aren't exactly what they seem", The Pitch, Kansas City, Kansas
- "Lawrence’s work exhibits an incisive and well-conceived depiction of current events through deification" San Francisco Bay Times
- inre Darren Smith's books: "...work is adorned with the art of West Coast underground artists Peter Max Lawrence and Lorin Brown", Good Reads
- "Queer in Kansas is an autobiographical film that carves an articulate (experimental) account of the history and creative process of Lawrence’s life as an adopted child", "Though dark and somber at places, its use of humor and a great sense of joie de vivre balance the film", San Francisco Bay Times

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or response:
“It would be easy ... to regard the whole of world 3 as timeless, as Plato suggested of his world of Forms or Ideas.... I propose a different view—one which, I have found, is surprisingly fruitful. I regard world 3 as being essentially the product of the human mind.... More precisely, I regard the world 3 of problems, theories, and critical arguments as one of the results of the evolution of human language, and as acting back on this evolution.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“... the most extreme conditions require the most extreme response, and for some individuals, the call to that response is vitality itself.... The integrity and self-esteem gained from winning the battle against extremity are the richest treasures in my life.”
—Diana Nyad (b. 1949)
