Quote of Note | Milton Glaser
Posted in: Uncategorized
“He was not a great draftsman. In terms of what it means to draw beautifully, in terms of control, I don’t think he was very notable….He had an enormous sense of style, and he could bring that burnished style to a product in way that enhanced its value. That was a very substanial gift. When you gave him a shoe to draw, the shoe became more sophisticated. You got something extra.
He was really not related to the field of illustration. He was an outsider who came in and proved that you could be an enormous personality, do an individual thing, and still be used successfully in commercial art.”
–Milton Glaser on Andy Warhol, who he calls “the perfect commercial artist,” in Tony Scherman and David Dalton‘s POP: The Genius of Andy Warhol (Harper)
