'''Leo Dillon''' (March 2, 1933 &ndash; May 26, 2012) and '''Diane Dillon''' (''née'' Sorber; born March 13, 1933) were [[American people|American]] [[illustrator]]s of [[children's books]] and adult [[paperback book]] and [[magazine]] covers. One obituary of Leo called the work of the husband-and-wife team "a seamless amalgam of both their hands".<ref name=fox/> In more than 50 years, they created more than 100 [[speculative fiction]] book and magazine covers together<!-- evidently the two 2013 listings are reprints from 1961 and 1975 --> as well as much interior artwork. Essentially all of their work in that field was joint.<ref name=isfdb-leo/><ref name=isfdb-diane/>

The Dillons won the [[Caldecott Medal]] in 1976 and 1977, the only consecutive awards of the honor.<ref name=caldecott/> Leo Dillon was the first Black artist to win the Caldecott Medal.<ref>{{cite news|title=Leo and Diane Dillon|url=https://archives.sva.edu/blog/post/leo-and-diane-dillon}}</ref> In 1978 they were runners-up for the [[Hans Christian Andersen Award]] for children's illustrators; they were the U.S. nominee again in 1996.<ref name=ibby-nominee/>

==Biography==
Leo Dillon, of [[Trinidadian]] immigrant parentage, was born March 2, 1933,<ref>{{cite news|last=Fox|first=Margalit|title=Leo Dillon, Celebrated Illustrator of Children's Books, Is Dead at 79|work=The New York Times|date=May 30, 2012|accessdate=February 1, 2024|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/31/books/leo-dillon-illustrator-of-childrens-books-dies-at-79.html}}</ref> and raised in [[East New York, Brooklyn|East New York]]. He enlisted in the Navy for three years' service so that he could attend art school. He credited his interest in art and his inspiration to become an artist to his friend and mentor, Ralph Volman.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=The Coretta Scott King Awards, 1970-2009|last=Smith|first=Henrietta|publisher=American Library Association|year=2009|isbn=9780838935842|location=Chicago|pages=[https://archive.org/details/corettascottking0000smit/page/79 79]|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/corettascottking0000smit/page/79}}</ref> 

Diane Sorber was born March 13, 1933, in [[Glendale, California]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Artist Spotlight: Leo and Diane Dillon|website=Pennsylvania College of Art and Design|date=April 13, 2015|accessdate=February 1, 2024|url=https://pcad.edu/pcad_news/artist-spotlight-leo-and-diane-dillon/}}</ref> Her interest in art was encouraged early by her mother, who was a pianist.<ref name=":0" /> The couple met at the [[Parsons School of Design]] in New York City in 1953 — where they "became instant archrivals and remained together from then on".<ref name=fox/> They graduated in 1956 and married the next year. This union resulted in an artistic collaboration, which the couple described as a third artist. Diane Dillon explained this in an interview through these words:  “We could look at ourselves as one artist rather than two individuals, and that third artist was doing something neither one of us would do. We let it flow the way it flows when an artist is working by themselves and a color goes down that they didn’t quite expect and that affects the next colors they use, and it seems to have a life of its own.”<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://akronartmuseum.org/exhibitions/the-global-artistry-of-leo-and-diane-dillon/1032|title=The Global Artistry of Leo and Diane Dillon - Akron Art Museum|website=akronartmuseum.org|language=en|access-date=2018-09-25|archive-date=2018-09-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180925065335/https://akronartmuseum.org/exhibitions/the-global-artistry-of-leo-and-diane-dillon/1032|url-status=dead}}</ref>

An association with writer [[Harlan Ellison]] led to jobs doing book covers for his short story collections and both cover and interior [[woodcut]] illustration for his anthology ''[[Dangerous Visions]]''. They illustrated a large number of [[mass market paperback]] book covers for the original [[Ace Books|Ace]] Science Fiction Specials, for which they won their first major award, science fiction's 1971 [[Hugo Award]] for Best Professional Artist. A detailed biography and introduction to their work and styles were written by [[Byron Preiss]] in a book he edited in 1981, entitled ''The Art of Leo & Diane Dillon''. They once described their work as incorporating motifs derived from their respective heritages.{{clarify|date=July 2013|reason=what heritages in particular?}}  This can be demonstrated in their work for Margaret Musgrove's ''Ashanti to Zulu'', which used tribal motifs and combined historical with contemporary styles.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Growing Up with Literature|last=Sawyer|first=Walter|publisher=Wadsworth Cengage Learning|year=2011|isbn=9781111342654|location=Belmont, CA|pages=95}}</ref>

On May 28, 2012, Ellison reported on his website his reception of a phone call from Diane announcing Leo's death at the age of 79 from [[lung cancer]] two days prior.<ref name=leodeath/> Spectrum Fantastic Art, an annual art competition and art book project of which the couple were general managers, confirmed Leo's death on its website.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spectrumfantasticart.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031206231022/http://www.spectrumfantasticart.com/ |url-status=usurped |archive-date=December 6, 2003 |title=Spectrum Fantastic Art}}</ref> The obituary of Leo in ''[[The New York Times]]'' praised the Dillons jointly as "one of the world's pre-eminent illustrators for young people, producing artwork — praised for its vibrancy, ecumenicalism and sheer sumptuous beauty — that was a seamless amalgam of both their hands", also noting the ethnoracial diversity of characters in the Dillons' work in the 1970s, "until then, the smiling faces portrayed in picture books had been overwhelmingly white."<ref name=fox/>

Since Leo's death, Diane Dillon has illustrated one book, ''I Can Be Anything! Don’t Tell Me I Can’t'' (published 2018), which she also wrote.

The Dillons had one surviving son. Lee (Lionel John Dillon III), born 1965, became an artist and collaborated with his parents several times, including the illustrations for ''Pish, Posh, Said Hieronymus Bosch'' by [[Nancy Willard]] (1991).<ref name=locus/> Both Leo and Diane lived in the [[Cobble Hill, Brooklyn|Cobble Hill]] neighborhood at the time of Leo's death.

==Notes==
{{notelist |notes=
{{efn|name=cover |1=
The Dillons created cover illustrations for many books that were not first editions. By policy the cover images and cover illustrations displayed in Wikipedia book articles should be from the first editions but that is not always true. They should have captions but that is not always true.
