Lance Hidy, after his training in art at Yale University, studied with Leonard Baskin, and with David Godine founded the Boston publishing house of that name. He specialized in several areas of design that led him to the photographic book, and award-winning work with Ansel Adams and Arnold Newman. He has become an internationally recognized poster artist and is an eminent figure in computer graphics. Penumbra, the typeface he designed for Adobe Systems, was issued in 1994. Hidy began using photographs in his poster work in 1977. This led to his use of a medium-format camera, and the photgraphs of Conversatio. His work, widely collected and exhibited in this country and abroad, was the subject of a 1994 retrospective exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC.
