Iconic Esquire cover artwork by Milton Glazer, 1959 Card mounted on white card. Black mount is not included.
A superb piece of original artwork with ageing and patination. Would look excellent framed. This is an original print and not a scanned copy.. A superb piece of artwork and an excellent gift.
About the artist:
Milton Glaser cited Félix Vallotton, an artist who did more with less, as one of his most important influences. Glaser drew upon Vallotton’s Japanese woodcut-influenced style to great expressive effect throughout his career. He wrote about Vallotton in Art is Work:
“Vallotton’s reductive woodcuts, in sharp black and white, contain an enormous amount of compressed visual and psychological energy. His use of limited means to suggest a narrative is unexcelled. In the arts, one has many mentors, including those one has never met. Thanks, Félix.”
Early in his career, Glaser created a cover and spot illustrations for two separate issues of Esquire, all of which share a debt to Vallotton. In August 1959, Glaser produced a full-page illustration and spot illustrations for an excerpt from François Mauriac’s “A Question of Precedence.”
