More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
For more than fifty years Milton Glaser has designed much of the world we experience every day. His posters, books, albums, restaurants, advertisements, and so much more have made him the pre-eminent force in design in America. Drawing upon an amazing vocabulary of images and techniques, Glaser has now created his most personal book. Based on his view that all art has its origin in the impulse to create-primarily through drawing - he has designed a book that powerfully delineates this idea. In 'Drawing is Thinking', the drawings depicted are meant to be experienced sequentially, so that the viewer not only follows Glaser through these pages, but comes to inhabit his mind. The drawings represent a range of subject matter taken from throughout Glaser's career.They illustrate the author's commitment to the fundamental idea that drawing is not simply a way to represent reality, but a way to understand and experience the world. Glaser's two signature books, 'Graphic Design' and 'Art is Work', are still in print decades after their first appearance. Each displays his work with short descriptions of how the work came about. But in 'Drawing is Thinking', the author is less interested in display and more concerned with how the mind works to visually represent reality.

Milton Galser is classic fun
12 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The interview in the beginning gives an amazing insight and account into Glaser's progress as a visual explorer. He's accomplished so much in his life with a myriad of techniques and clients, yet he's still experimenting, which is the fun part of trying to figure out the story and narrative of his visual sequence. Very cool.

Fantastic
5 Mar 2011
Format:Hardcover
If you're a fan of Glaser, this shouldn't be much of a decision for you. This is stripped down and gets right to what you're interested in. I might gripe that it's not the very best deal in the art book world, but the reproduction quality is perfect.

Skillful & Inventive
21 Feb 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This juicy book is 22 pages of text explaining why there is no text, 180 pages of inventive drawings that invite the viewer to juxtapose the relationship. For someone who draws this is `pure looking' and seeing what's around them. A lexicon of beauty and styles that shape questions about our perceptions and why we choose to look at particular scenes. When you think, `I just don't know what to draw?'
