Description
It was natural that Stig Lindberg’s imaginative imagery would seek out more fields than just ceramics. As early as the mid-1940s he began to draw patterns for printed textiles, and in 1947 he debuted as an illustrator of children’s books with pictures for Lennart Hellsing’s book Nyfiken i en strut. The collaboration with Hellsing lasted for many years and did not end until 1959 with the book Daniel Doppsko. Lindberg also designed advertising for Gustavsberg and had other commissions as an illustrator and graphic designer. In 1962 Dag Widman’s book Stig Lindberg: Swedish artist and designer became the first major printed documentation of Lindberg’s work. Its covers were decorated with a graphic pattern designed by the artist himself.
