===1960s=== In 1962, Max started a small Manhattan arts studio known as "The Daly & Max Studio," with friend [[Thomas Aquinas Daly|Tom Daly]]. Daly and Max were joined by friend and mentor [[Don Rubbo]], and the three worked as a group on books and advertising for which they received industry recognition. Much of their work incorporated antique photographic images as elements of collage. Max's interest in astronomy contributed to his self-described "Cosmic '60s" period, which featured psychedelic, counter culture imagery. In 1967, Max solidified his place as a counter-cultural icon by designing the flyers for the second ever '[[Central Park be-ins|Be In]]', a political gathering of mainly [[hippie]]s in New York's [[Central Park]] after the Easter parade on March 26, 1967.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Riley, II|first=Charles A.|title=The Art of Peter Max|publisher=Harry N.
