Milton Glaser Photography: S. Green-Armitage
|
Milton Glaser has been one of the most pivotal figures
in contemporary graphic design and illustration. Glaser
is a profoundly influential master of communication,
as well as a charismatic mentor and humanistic force
for social change. His work is characterized by its masterful
handwork, its love of storytelling, and its sense of joy.
Glaser's career spans more than fifty years and includes logos,
ads, posters, portraits, and identities for newspapers, magazines, books, exhibitions,
grocery stores, and restaurants. In 1954, he co-founded Push Pin Studios.
Known for its humor, narration, decoration, historicism and parody, Push Pin's work was
showcased at Le Musée des Arts Décoratifs at the Louvre in Paris,
and subsequently emulated around the world. In 1968, he co-founded New York Magazine,
which became the prototype for city magazines and service journalism across the country.
His other iconic works include the album cover for Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, the
interiors for Windows on the World (at the former World Trade Center)
and the Rainbow Room restaurants, logos for Angels in America
and the World Health Organization (the international AIDS symbol),
and the world-famous "I Love NY" logo (which, after September 11th, was transformed into
"I Love NY More Than Ever").
