47 分钟This month's best of conversation features iconic designer and New York magazine founder, Milton Glaser.
Now 90 years old, Glaser discovered his vocation when he was five years old and never looked back.
He didn't know how or the precise path, but he did know he had to create, to draw design, to make years into life.
Glazer's bodywork is stunning in its breadth, its depth and its impact.
The famed I heartny logo.
Yep, he did that.
New York magazine.
He founded that iconic Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin Posters.
He was the one who created them.
Brooklyn brewery logo.
So many other identities.
All of those too.
And thousands of other works of art.
Posters, brands, products, packaging.
Things that so many of us recognize and had been sort of a part of our own mythology, but had no idea, maybe, unless we were in that world, that these came from his unique mind and big heart.
His work has been seen everywhere, from the halls of industry to local pubs.
Moma.
In 2004, he received the Cooper Hewitt national design Museum lifetime achievement award.
And I had the incredible opportunity to spend some time with him at his studio back in 2013, where he was deep at work on a new show.
We talked about his really incredible journey.
