*************

Peter Max (born Peter Max Finkelstein, October 19, 1937) is a German-born Jewish American illustrator and graphic artist. At first, works in this style appeared on posters and were seen on the walls of college dorms all across America. Max then became fascinated with new printing techniques that allowed for four-color reproduction on product merchandise. Following his success with a line of art clocks for General Electric, Max�s art was licensed by 72 corporations and he had become a household name. In September 1969 Max appeared on the cover of Life Magazine with an eight-page feature article as well as the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and the Ed Sullivan Show

In 1962 Max started a small Manhattan arts studio with friend Tom Daly known as ""The Daly & Max Studio."" 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 for their work. Much of their work incorporated antique photographic images as elements of collage. Max's interest in astronomy contributed to his self described ""Cosmic 60's"" period which featured what became identified as psychedelic, counter culture imagery. Max's art was popularized nationally through TV commercials such as his 1968 ""un cola"" ad for the soft drink 7-UP^[2] which helped drive sales of his very profitable art posters and other merchandise. He reportedly appeared on the Tonight Show in 1968.^[1] He was featured on the cover of LIFE magazine's 9-5-1969 edition under with the heading ""Peter Max: Portrait of the artist as a very rich man.""^[3]
