This innovative postcard book celebrates the work of Tibor Kalman, the "bad boy of graphic design," whose advertisements, objects, videos, and editorial projects have become visual icons. Thirty of Kalman's best known images—including the racially altered Queen Elizabeth, the revolutionary watch faces included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, the M&Co corporate gifts, and more—are assembled in an ingenious format: after the postcards are sent, a small book remains. Drawn from both Kalman's personal collection and the archives of his design firm M&Co, pictures range from the politically subversive (Mao potato chips and Calvin Klein chicken parts) to the personal and whimsical (Tibor and Maira Kalman's wedding photo, the Blue Skies umbrella). Comments about the images by Kalman and his wife/collaborator, the author and illustrator Maira Kalman, display the subversive wit, radical political views, irreverence, and glee that informed his work.
