the artist in his studio

Throughout his career, Liberman maintained a whirlwind social life. Beginning in 1948, he spent summers photographing European artists, including Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, and Pablo Picasso. In 1959, the Museum of Modern Art in New York exhibited these photographs. Later, they were gathered in Liberman's first book, The Artist in his Studio. Among other books were Marlene (1992), dedicated to Marlene Dietrich, and Then (1995)—a retrospective album of acquaintances from Paris long ago to Miami in the 1990s.
