Milton Glaser did these drawings for a 1961 issue of Sports Illustrated on beaches. It’s a lovely example of Glaser’s long-time interest in cross-hatching (scroll down here for his cross-hatched mourning dog for Olivetti), which he has attributed to Morandi’s etchings. The three pieces of original art are especially compelling for their evidence of Glaser’s hand; you can almost imagine he completed these just now, as you were watching.
A treasure trove of art and graphics from The Milton Glaser Design Archives. Rare, unseen printed work, original art, and drafts for design and illustration by Glaser, Heinz Edelmann, Seymour Chwast, George Tscherny, James McMullan, and others.
