Milton Glaser Posters: 427 Examples from 1965 to 2017

Description

Milton Glaser’s posters―more than 450 since 1965―combine conceptual rigor and originality with a mastery of visual language and a high level of artistic expression. Some, like his 1967 Bob Dylan poster for Columbia Records, are icons; others, like his series celebrating “I Love New York,” evoke his best-known work. Milton Glaser Posters includes them all, with Glaser’s own commentary describing his thought process and inspiration. The book is a delight for the art lover, an education in visual expression, and an entertaining journey through the cultural life of half a century, all rolled into a single compact, intense volume. Review: Super Buch - Super Buch. Teils auch Skizzen zu den Postern. Sollte in keiner Grafik Sammlung fehlen! Review: Iconic and refreshing...... - `Does lightning cast a shadow?` ...is one of the musings from Milton Glaser contained here. This collection, spanning 50 years or more, is a delight for Glaser fans and for those interested in the world of graphic design, illustration, and fine art. If the posters weren`t so cooly contemporary and very often daring, they might even evoke nostalgia. His short texts to the left of each piece are a revelation . Glaser is not afraid to look back with a sometimes critical, almost jaundiced eye at some of his work. That`s a valuable lesson for young students entering the field-- delivered by the Master.
