GLASER, MILTON (1929-2020) Italian Baroque Music. Acrylic on canvas. 42 x 42 inches. Preliminary drawing for the album cover of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra under conductor Edmond de Stouts as issued by Vanguard Everyman Classics in 1966. As a founder of the legendary Push Pin Studios, Milton Glaser was one of the most influential graphic artists of his generation. He brought his witty Pop sensibility to book and magazine illustrations, posters and album covers, and designed many clever typefaces. He is perhaps best remembered for his I Love NY logo that has promoted New York City since 1977 and his 1966 poster of Bob Dylan with a rainbow snarl of hair. In 2009, President Barack Obama presented him with the National Medal of the Arts as the only graphic designer to be so honored. 1966
