The first survey of Leo Lionni’s protean career as a graphic
designer, children’s book creator, and fine artist. Between
Worlds: The Art and Design of Leo Lionni opens at the Norman
Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA, on 18 November 2023. Leo Lionni
(1910–1999) was a key figure of postwar visual culture, who
believed that a smart, pithy design language could unite people
across generations and cultural boundaries. He first achieved
success in the field of graphic design, serving as the influential
art director of Fortune magazine from 1948 to 1960 and personally
executing such innovative designs as the catalogue for the Museum
of Modern Art’s seminal photo exhibition The Family of Man. Then,
in the 1960s, he embarked on an equally groundbreaking career in
picture books, using torn-paper collages to illustrate modern
animal fables such as Frederick and Swimmy, which are still beloved
today. But even as his books won multiple Caldecott Honors, Lionni
— who had begun as a painter — also maintained a fine art
practice centered on his Parallel Botany, a richly imagined world
of fanciful plants. This volume, the catalogue of a major
exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum, is the first to present
Lionni’s extraordinary career in the round. Written by leading
scholars and with an introduction by the artist’s granddaughter,
it is illustrated with abundant examples of his work, including
many little-seen items from the Lionni family archives. Leo Lionni:
Storyteller, Artist, Designer will be an important, and
eye-opening, contribution to the history of art and design.
