Miltan Glasser Film


I watched a film about Miltan Glasser. The film starts with him introducing himself and leads into him speaking about art and design. While this is going on the visual are occupied with posters that he has made. One of them is on the one above in the photo. He speaks about how a designer is part business man part artist, and every designer lies different on that balance beam. Miltan believes that arts acts as a pacifist to any culture while also being a gift.
Mr. Glasser started teaching so he could affect the lives of others. Talking about teaching and helping others, he goes into talk about being elderly in life. When you get older what you love to do usually doesn't sustain you anymore he believes. By not having what you love anymore the astonishment factor leaves also. Through art he believes that he has been able to keep doing the things he loves; teaching and designing. Things still astonish him, which he made a big deal about.
I started to watch three different of the artist films at that website and got bored within the first thirty seconds of them. This is the only one that kept my attention for the first thirty seconds, let alone the next six and a half minutes. The film is located here http://www.hillmancurtis.com/index.php?/film/watch/milton_glaser/. This film was directed and filmed by Hillman Curtis.
