About the Author:
Milton Glaser has had one-man shows at the Museum of Modern Art and the Georges Pompidou Center. In 2004 he was selected for the lifetime achievement award of the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. In 2010, he was awarded a National Medal of Arts by Barack Obama. His books include Graphic Design, Art is Work, and Drawing is Thinking.
From Booklist:
From book jackets and LP covers to ad posters and soup cans, Glaser has designed them all. This new volume is his showcase. In the introduction, he suggests that we substitute the word work for the word art , in order to "restore art to a central, useful activity in daily life." By subverting commonplace words, objects, and symbols in his own work, Glaser has accomplished that goal. For example, his highly recognized I [love] NY ad campaign turned T-shirts and bumper stickers into a mass of moving canvases. A follow-up to his first collection published 25 years ago, the bountifully illustrated Art Is Work outlines Glaser's career over the past quarter century. The work is good, according to his scale of art appraisal. And the several sequences showing how a drawing develops from the raw stage into its mature, final form demonstrate that for Glaser it was hard work, too. Jeff Snowbarger
