Milton Glaser
Milton Glaser may be best known for a 1977 doodle that became his hometown’s unofficial slogan: I ♥️ NY. But the Bronx-born graphic designer had many other successes during his nearly 70-year career, including iconic posters and prints and cofounding the groundbreaking design firm Push Pin Studios.
In the 1950s, American graphics tended toward a Swiss-influenced precision. Glaser, however, pulled from the whole of art history for his designs, inspired by his studies with the painter Giorgio Morandi while on a Fulbright scholarship in 1952. His famous Bob Dylan poster, a landmark of the psychedelic age, was inspired by a Marcel Duchamp self-portrait and the jewel-like colors of Islamic art.
A cofounder of New York magazine, Glaser went on to design for scores of other publications, and in 2009 he was awarded the National Medal of Arts.
In an instance of life imitating art, Glaser was asked to create the promotional posters for the final season of Mad Men, which aired in 2014 and 2015. “I could have walked in the door of that firm,” the designer told the New York Times of the fictional Sterling Cooper & Partners. “I knew those people.”
“There are three responses to a piece of design — yes, no and wow!” he said. “Wow is the one to aim for.” Glaser rarely, if ever, missed the mark. He died of a stroke in 2020.

1974 original propaganda poster Cosmonautics Day, celebrated on April 12 - USSR
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1974 original propaganda poster titled "12 Avril journée de la cosmonautique CCCP Yuri Gagarin" is a compelling artifact from the Soviet era, celebrating Cosmonautics Day and the achievements of Yuri Gagarin. This poster is a vivid example of how the Soviet Union used art and propaganda to promote its space program and the broader ideals of socialism and communism.
Cosmonautics Day, celebrated on April 12, marks the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's historic flight in 1961 when he became the first human to journey into outer space. This day holds significant importance in Russian and Soviet history, symbolizing the technological prowess and exploratory spirit of the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
The poster features Yuri Gagarin, the pioneering cosmonaut whose name became synonymous with Soviet space achievements. Gagarin's smiling face and heroic pose embody the triumph of the Soviet space program and its role in the space race against the United States. His image is a powerful symbol of Soviet ingenuity, courage, and the potential of socialism to achieve great feats.
The text on the poster, "Socialisme et communisme c'est le port spatiale fiable d'ou l'humanité prend d'assaut et dirigera les étendues de l'univers" ("Socialism and communism is the reliable spaceport from which humanity launches and will conquer the expanses of the universe"), reinforces the ideological message that the successes of the Soviet space program were a direct result of its socialist and communist principles. This statement reflects the deep interconnection between Soviet ideology and its scientific and technological advancements.
The artistic style of the poster is typical of Soviet propaganda art...
