‘Lester Beall (1903-1969) was born in Kansas City, Missouri. His family soon moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and later to Chicago, Illinois. Beall studied at the University of Chicago. After a short period of experimentation and professional work in Chicago, he moved to New York in 1935. Through the 1930s & 1940s Beall produced innovative & highly regarded work for clients including the Chicago Tribune, Sterling Engraving, The Art Directors Club of New York, Hiram Walker, Abbott Laboratories, & Time...& Collier’s ... His clear & concise use of typography was highly praised both in the United States & abroad. Throughout his career he used bold primary colours & illustrative arrows & lines in a graphic style that became easily recognisable as his own. He eventually moved to rural New York & set up an office, & home, at a premises that he & his family called "Dumbarton Farm". He remained at the farm until his death in 1969.’ https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/2021/01/fortune-magazine-part-4.html

If you're in NY through Feb 23, check out the Poster House's fab exhibition of Lester Beall's work. I created one of their winning animations from one of his amazing posters, combined with 80s classic: the Clapper. 😂
