Alexander Liberman is not only famous for his monumental red steel sculptures and hard-edged geometric paintings, but also for introducing twentieth-century art to fashion magazines. While he was art director at Vogue, Liberman incorporated modern artworks into fashion photo shoots, specifically Jackson Pollock paintings as a backdrop for British photographer Cecil Beaton’s images. Inspired by American industrialization and modernization, his minimalist paintings and sculpture conveyed themes about “celestial motion, the movement of the eye, as well as human sexuality.”
