Here are more works from Milton Glaser And an insight into his thinking and attitude towards learning and living that affects his creativity. HOW YOU LIVE CHANGES YOUR BRAIN.
The brain is the most responsive organ of the body. Actually it is the organ that is most susceptible to change and regeneration of all the organs in the body. I have a friend named Gerald Edelman who was a great scholar of brain studies and he says that the analogy of the brain to a computer is pathetic. The brain is actually more like an overgrown garden that is constantly growing and throwing off seeds, regenerating and so on. And he believes that the brain is susceptible, in a way that we are not fully conscious of, to almost every experience of our life and every encounter we have. I was fascinated by a story in a newspaper a few years ago about the search for perfect pitch. A group of scientists decided that they were going to find out why certain people have perfect pitch. You know certain people he...

These are very old works painted by hunters who never went to art schools. Yet the basic elements of lines, shapes, colours, textures, form, space are combined with such exquisite delicacy and power. The scale of these works are large in comparision to the size of the human person. Why did they draw? For recording? For instruction? For magic? For recreation? For commercial exchange? Purpose aside, these works have a quality that engage the viewers. One can't look at these works and walk away unchanged. These works have an energy that only intelligence, passion and a desire to communicate can evoke a response like a baby's to the mother's presence. Yes. That intimate.

Several famous painters, including Pablo Picasso, are said to have been inspired by its charcoal and ochre images, which inc...

There is a perverse logic that creativity must be serious stuff to be taken seriously. But the truth is: Art is having fun with one's imagination. Artists have always taken this playful element seriously enough to be relaxed while making art. African artists have fun! Have a look: Today's mural designers practise their craft with the same sense of fun with lines, shapes and colours. Take a look:

Getting back to basics is an attitude. It is a desire to relook the heart of a discipline  Or a principle. Or a lifestyle. What is the core? It is a desire to strip away the non-essentials that accumulate over time for purposes of embellishments. Getting back to basics in art is to get in touch with the first thing that makes art exciting. And what is that? For me it is that loaded word: relationships. Specifically in this context, it is lines that are combined with observed elements in nature.  Straight lines. Curved lines. These are the basic elements. But in the inventive mind of Kobi Levi, the Israeli shoe designer, they are reconfigured with the elements of plants and creatures of nature.  And I find this playfulness in adapting the shapes of the shoe with ducks, bananas, the hips and thighs and other observed parts in nature, very enjoyable.
