Leo Lionni

"Leo Lionni: A Passion for Creativity"; July 12, 2003-October 19, 2003. "An Appreciation", by Eric Carle. "Remembering Leo Lionni", by Frances Foster. Catalog Design by Rita Marshall, 32 Illustrations, Paper, 32 pp, 8 ¾" x 8 ½", 1,000 Copies, First Edition. From "Acknowledgments," by H. Nichols B. Clark: "Among my first decisions as director was to pursue an exhibition of Leo Lionni's work. This was before I understood how much Lionni meant to Eric Carle. I had long been captivated by the elegant design, magical draftsmanship, and universal messages of his children's books. Happily, we are able to offer a glimpse into his other equally distinguished creative outlets: his drawing and sculpture. From art director for Fortune magazine to exhibiting with Surrealists such as Joan Miro and André Masson, Lionni achieved the pinnacle of whatever he pursued."
