Milton Glaser – författare

For more than fifty years, Walter Bernard and Milton Glaser have revolutionized the look of magazine journalism. In Mag Men, Bernard and Glaser recount their storied careers, offering insiders’ perspective on some of the most iconic design work of the twentieth century. The authors look back on and analyze some of their most important and compelling projects, from the creation of New York magazine to redesigns of such publications as Time, Fortune, Paris Match, and The Nation, explaining how their designs complemented a story and shaped the visual identity of a magazine.Richly illustrated with the covers and interiors that defined their careers, Mag Men is bursting with vivid examples of Bernard and Glaser’s work, designed to encapsulate their distinctive approach to visual storytelling and capture the major events and trends of the past half century. Highlighting the importance of collaboration in magazine journalism, Bernard and Glaser detail their relationships with a variety of writers, editors, and artists, including Nora Ephron, Tom Wolfe, Gail Sheehy, David Levine, Seymour Chwast, Katherine Graham, Clay Felker, and Katrina vanden Heuvel. The book features a foreword by Gloria Steinem, who reflects on her work in magazines and her collaborations with Bernard and Glaser. At a time when uncertainty continues to cloud the future of print journalism, Mag Men offers not only a personal history from two of its most innovative figures but also a reminder and celebration of the visual impact and sense of style that only magazines can offer.

Este libro recoge tres conversaciones entre el diseñador Milton Glaser y el editor Peter Mayer que fueron publicadas originalmente en inglés en tres libros distintos dedicados a la obra del diseñador. Tres momentos puntuales (1973, 2000 y 2008) a lo largo de un lapso de tiempo dilatado, en los que Glaser y Mayer reflexionan sobre toda una serie de cuestiones que tienen que ver con el diseño y el arte, como trabajo y como parte de la vida.Se habla de temas generales como el papel del diseño en su contexto social, el código deontológico (no escrito) del diseñador, de lo que constituye su dignidad, y de la relación entre creatividad y trabajo; se habla de la relación y la distancia entre diseño y arte y de la relación entre arte y vida, de la importancia o no de tener un estilo, de las relaciones con los clientes Y se habla, por supuesto, de la obra de Glaser, de los trabajos más icónicos del diseñador, y de la centralidad del dibujo en su práctica y el profundo peso en sus referentes de pintores clásicos como Piero della Francesca.Un diálogo que enfrentará a cualquier diseñador, artista o creador con las mismas preguntas e inquietudes que le habrán asaltado una y otra vez a lo largo de su carrera y que ofrece las respuestas, siempre lúcidas, y la rica perspectiva de uno de los grandes maestros.

Available again, the enduring, iconic volume showcasing the key early-career work and process of the godfather of modern graphic design Milton Glaser: Graphic Design, perhaps the most famous book of its kind, explores the early decades of America’s pre-eminent graphic artist. Glaser’s work ranges from the psychedelic Bob Dylan poster to book and record covers; from store and restaurant design to toy creations; and magazine formats including New York magazine and logotypes, all of which define the look of our time. Here Glaser undertakes not only a remarkably wide-ranging representation of his oeuvre from the incredibly fertile early years, but, in a new introduction, speaks of the influences on his work, the responsibilities of the artist, the hierarchies of the traditional art world, and the role of graphic design in the area of his creative growth. First published in 1973, Milton Glaser: Graphic Design is an extraordinary achievement and indisputably a classic in the field.
