An editor, publisher, painter, photographer, and sculptor, Liberman was educated in Russia and began his career in Paris. He emigrated to New York in 1941, escaping Nazi-occupied France via Lisbon, and began painting in the '50s. His famed career at Condé Nast lasted fifty years and he is credited with the redefinition of the contemporary magazine.
