Moser and Glaser Compared

Paper Summary:

Koloman Moser became one of the founding fathers of the Viennese Movement and one of the most remarkable artistic figures of the turn of the century. This paper examines his 1904 poster, poster "Religious Calendar", which was created in 1903, at the height of the Art Nouveau and Bauhaus movements. The paper then examines a poster by Milton Glaser, who is considered the most outstanding graphic designer of the last half of the 20th century. The poster depicts singer, Bob Dylan.
The paper compares and contrasts the two works of art and shows how each artist used a distinct approach.

From the Paper:

"Dylan, especially because of the vivid and bright coloration of the hair, is a much more optimistic creation than the Religious Calendar. As previously pointed out, there is an air of intriguing mystery surrounding Moser's poster which doesn't exist in Glaser's case, where the artist was even keen on noting on the character to whom it was referring to, in case there was any confusion. While in Moser's case, the interpretation of the character could range anywhere from a witch to the black widow, Glaser points out simply that this is DYLAN."
