Influential American graphic designer of Hungarian origin and
was editor-in-chief of Colors magazine. Timor was born in Budapest
and became a U.S. citizen in 1956 after he and his family fled
Hungary to escape the Soviet invasion in New York. Became
supervisor of Barnes & Noble in-house design department in the
1970s. In 1979 Tibor Kalman, Carol Bokuniewicz and Liz Trovato
started their own design firm called M&Co, which did
corporate work for diverse clients as the Limited Corporation, the
New Wave music group Talking Heads, and Restaurant Florent in New
York
City's Meatpacking District. He also worked as creative director
of Interview magazine in the early 1990s.
Kalman became founding editor-in-chief of the Benetton-Sponsored
Colors magazine in 1990. In 1993, Kalman closed M&Co and moved
to Rome, to work exclusively on the magazine. Billed as 'a
magazine about the rest of the world', Colors focused on
multiculturalism and global awareness. This perspective was
communicated through bold graphic design, typography and
juxtaposition of
photographs and doctored images, including a series in which
highly recognizable figures such as the Pope and Queen Elizabeth
were depicted as racial minorities. Kalman remained the main
creative force behind Colors, until the onset of non-Hodgkins
lymphoma forced him to leave in 1995 and return to New
York.
In 1997, Kalman re-opened M&Co and continued work until his
death in 1999 in Puerto Rico, shortly before a retrospective of his
graphic design work entitled Tiborocity opened its U.S. tour at
the
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. A book about Kalman and
M&Co's work, Tibor Kalman: Perverse Optimist, was published by
Princeton Architectural Press in 1999.
Today the influence of M&Co is still strong, both as a
result of its work and that of the many designers, like Stefan
Sagmeister, Stephen Doyle, Alexander Isley, Scott Stowell and Emily
Oberman,
who worked there and went on to start their own design studios
in New York City. Howard Milton and Jay Smith who worked with
Kalman in 1979 went on to found Smith & Milton in London.
Timor
Kalman was a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI).
Kalman was one of the 33 signers of the First Things First 2000
manifesto. Until his death (1999), Mr. Kalman was married to
the
illustrator and author Maira Kalman.
His main philosophy of using good design for a good cause
remains a consistent thread throughout his most notable
endeavors.

• When you make something no one hates, no one loves it.
• The difference between good design and great design
isINTELLIGENCE.
• I’m always trying to turn things upside to see if they
look
any better.
• Design is just language and the real issue is what you usethat
language to do.
• I’m not against beauty, it just sounds boring to me.
• Pictures are so good at giving people information thatthey’re
not looking for.
