Milton Glaser helped find the Push Pin Studio which explored a diverse range of styles that embraced popular culture and fine arts. Glaser designed this poster for CBS records of bob dylan with the kaleidoscope hair. The image is based on a classical Persian miniature painting and a 20th century collaged self-portrait by the French Dadaist Marcel Duchamp. This juxtaposition typifies the Push Pin style, which is marked as an alternative to the International style. Glaser's poster became an icon of the rock scene in the 60s and eventually sold over 6 milion copies. The poster revival of the 1960s and 70s repurposed images like this to become decorations for bedroom walls across the country. This marked the beginning of using walls as a canvas for posters celebrating celebrities of all sorts. Before this era, posters had never made it inside people’s homes on a large scale.
