Lester Beall (1903-1969) was the first graphic designer to be honored by a one-man exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (in 1937) and was awarded the 1993 Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Institute of Graphic Arts.
Deeply influenced by the European avant-garde in the 1930s, Beall synthesized its forms for the American business community and was a pioneer in the development of advertising, corporate identity design, packaging, and print media during the post-war decades.
