内容简介
Elephants are gray. Pigs are pink. Only the chameleon has no color of his own. He is purple like the heather, yellow like a lemon, even black and orange striped like a tiger! Then one day a chameleon has an idea to remain one color forever by staying on the greenest leaf he can find. But in the autumn, the leaf changes from green to yellow to red . . . and so does the chameleon. When another chameleon suggests they travel together, he learns that companionship is more important than having a color of his own. No matter where he goes with his new friend, they will always be alike.
作者简介
Leo Lionni, an internationally known designer, illustrator, and graphic artist, was born in Holland and lived in Italy until he came to the United States in 1939. He was the recipient of the 1984 American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medal and was honored posthumously in 2007 with the Society of Illustrators’ Lifetime Achievement Award. His picture books are distinguished by their enduring moral themes, graphic simplicity and brilliant use of collage, and include four Caldecott Honor Books: Inch by Inch, Frederick, Swimmy, and Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. Hailed as “a master of the simple fable” by the Chicago Tribune, he died in 1999 at the age of 89.
李欧·李奥尼,1910年5月出生于荷兰阿姆斯特丹,父亲是比利时犹太商人,母亲是女高音歌唱家。因家在美术馆附近,舅舅们又是建筑师、画家和艺术品收藏家,所以他从小就得以浸润在浓郁的艺术氛围之中。13岁起,他随家人辗转美国、意大利。1935年获得经济学博士学位。1945年,欧洲掀起反犹太浪潮,他们被迫举家走避美国。
李奥尼是一个才华横溢、不受拘束的艺术天才,绘画、雕刻、平面设计、印刷、陶艺、摄影......样样精通,曾任美国《财富》杂志设计主管长达10年。其间,他多次在欧洲和美国举办个人画展、设计展,并曾担任美国平面造型艺术学会主席、1953年度国际设计大会主席。1955年获美国平面造型艺术协会最佳广告制作美术指导奖、1956年获建筑联盟金牌奖。1984年获颁美国平面造型艺术学会奖时,他受到这样的评价:他通过自己的艺术创作、设计创作,对设计领域的领导和人才培养,以及通过为孩子们创作绘本,深深地影响了至少三代人。人文主义和理性主义自始至终贯穿着他的作品。
尽管李奥尼开始创作绘本时已经49岁,他却开创了一个绘本的新时代。
《纽约时报》曾不惜溢美之词给予他这样的评价“如果绘本是我们这个时代一种新的视觉艺术,李欧·李奥尼则是这种风格的大家。” 他的绘本获奖无数,其中《一寸虫》、《小黑鱼》、《田鼠阿佛》、《亚历山大和发条老鼠》分别于1961年、1964年、1968年及1970年四次荣获美国凯迪克大奖。1999年10月,这位被誉为“色彩魔术师”的绘本大师在意大利与世长辞,享年89岁。
精彩书评
"Lionni's signature watercolors span the rainbow in this story of a chameleon who, while searching for his identity, finds a friend with whom he can share his changeable nature."
-- Publishers Weekly
"Lionni's simple tale of a dissatisfied chameleon who finally finds happiness is as captivating now as it was when first published in 1975. We meet the green parrot, the red goldfish, the gray elephant, and the pink pig; "All animals have a color of their own, except for chameleons." Chameleons change color depending on where they are. The chameleon in this story hopes to find a color of his own, but the leaf he is on turns yellow and red and falls off the tree, leaving the chameleon black "in the long winter night." When he meets another chameleon in the spring who will stay by his side and change color with him, he can finally live "happily ever after." Watercolors on prepared papers are used to cut the simplest of shapes stuck on white pages. A strong contrast is made with the dark purple background for winter and the sharp green blades of grass for spring. The spare text offers lessons on color, on chameleons, and on friendship."
