Film & Mixer-Milton Glaser Documentary at Space Gallery


As blog editor and an admirer of Milton Glaser's work I urge you to see this film!

Milton Glaser has influenced a whole new generation of graphic designers. His widely seen thought-provoking & vibrant style of artwork more than stands the test of time. Milton's late 50's-60's "radical designs" along with Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana have been credited with creating "mind blowing" revolutionary designs that stunned and changed the the commercial art field forever. Their powerful use of minimal color, line, and form gave "legs" to a fast growing commercial art field/career.... Graphic Design.

See the film and experience an "ART Revolution" for yourself! -- Judith Hunt




To be seen at SPACE GALLERY!!!! OCT 7th

"Milton Glaser: To Inform & Delight" a film by Wendy Keys


For many, Milton Glaser is the personification of American graphic design. Best known for co-founding New York Magazine and the enduring I ♥ NY campaign, the full breadth of Glaser's remarkable artistic output is revealed in this documentary portrait, MILTON GLASER: TO INFORM AND DELIGHT. From newspapers and magazine designs, to interior spaces, logos, and brand identities, to his celebrated prints, drawings, posters and paintings, the documentary offers audiences a much richer appreciation for one of the great modern renaissance men.

Artfully directed by first time filmmaker Wendy Keys, the film glances into everyday moments of Glaser's personal life and capture his immense warmth, humanity and the boundless depth of his intelligence and creativity.
