Tico and the Golden Wings

Story

A dark bird with crimson legs stands amid tall stalks of foliage, their leaves tinted in shifting hues against a shadowed backdrop. The piece dates to 1964 and relates to the book Tico and the Golden Wings. Its maker, Leo Lionni (1910–1999), worked as a children's writer, designer, and graphic artist, bringing a storyteller's eye to this quiet, foliage-framed composition.

Where it works
