| Milton Glaser, born in 1929 is a native of New York where he attended the High School of Music and Art, and Cooper Union Art School. Following graduation, he received a Fulbright Scholarship, which allowed him to study etching in Italy under Giorgio Morandi. Glaser also spent time in Italy for eight months studying lithography.
Milton Glaser used what he felt was a cold mechanistic approach to design that reflected many modernists. Milton Glaser revived narrative drawings and made historical references in his design. Milton Glaser co-founded Pushpin design studios in 1954 along with former Cooper Union Art School students: Seymour Chwast, Edward Sorel, and Reynold Ruffin. The studio’s style combined aspects of Victorian art, arts and crafts, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco. The studios’ style also utilized contemporary typography and Illustration. This style of design evolved into a distinctive revivalist fashion that spanned from the mid 1960’s to the mid 1970’s. This style added color and humor to posters, records, book covers, as well as many other products. |
