He first achieved success in the field of graphic design, serving as the influential art director of \u003ci\u003eFortune\u003c\/i\u003e magazine from 1948 to 1960 and personally executing such innovative designs as the catalogue for the Museum of Modern Art’s seminal photo exhibition \u003ci\u003eThe Family of Man\u003c\/i\u003e. 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 \u003ci\u003eFrederick\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSwimmy\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003eParallel Botany\u003c\/i\u003e, a richly imagined world of fanciful plants.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis 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. \u003ci\u003eLeo Lionni: Storyteller, Artist, Designer\u003c\/i\u003e will be an important, and eye-opening, contribution to the history of art and design.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven Heller\u003c\/b\u003e was an art director at the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e for thirty-three years and is co-chair of the MFA Design department at the School of Visual Arts.
