About the Item
Antonio Petruccelli
Antonio Petruccelli began his career as a textile designer. He became a freelance illustrator in 1932 after winning several House Beautiful cover illustration contests.
In addition to creating 24 covers for Fortune magazine, four New Yorker covers, several for House Beautiful, Collier’s, and other magazines, Petruccelli did numerous illustrations for Life magazine from the 1930s through the 1960s.
“Tony was ‘Mr. Versatility’ for Fortune. He could do anything, from charts and diagrams to maps, illustrations, covers, and caricatures,” said Francis Brennan, the former art director for Fortune.
Over the course of his career, Petrucelli won several important design awards. He designed a U.S. postage stamp commemorating the steel industry and designed the Bicentennial Medal for the Franklin Mint for the State of New Jersey.
