Maira Kalman (Hebrew: מאירה קלמן; born 1949) is an Israeli-born American illustrator, writer, artist, and designer. New York City brings Kalman's creativity to life by collaborating with many of New York's institutions, such as The Museum of Modern Art, as well as gaining inspiration from the city's well known landmarks.[1] Her picture book, Fireboat: The Heroic Adventures of the John J. Harvey can be found in World Cat library. This book was both written and illustrated by Kalman. It won the annual Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for Nonfiction in 2003.[2]
Early life
[edit]Born in Tel Aviv, Kalman came to New York City with her family at the age of 4.[3] She was raised in Riverdale, Bronx.[4] She attended the High School of Music & Art, now known asLaGuardia High School, where she studied art and received a Bachelors of Arts degree.[5] She attended New York University where she studied the field of English.[6]
Career
[edit]At the age of 18, Kalman met designer Tibor Kalman at New York University. He was the editor-in-chief of Colors Magazine and also created many other designs. They got married in 1981. Together, they founded the design company M&Co in 1979. The firm grew to be highly influential, creating work for Interview magazine, Restaurant Florent, the band Talking Heads, and The Museum of Modern Art.[7]
Kalman published her first children's book in 1985, entitled Stay Up Late, which illustrated the lyrics of musician David Byrne. After Tibor's death in 1999, she began creatively asserting herself, writing more than 20 books over the years.[7]
As mentioned in an interview with Grapevine, Kalman notes how she always had a passion for writing, and that this is a field she was always interested in.[8] Kalman did not consider herself just a writer, but addressed that she was a storyteller, a journalist, a designer and a humorist.
Kalman has written a series of children's books about Max Stravinsky, the poet-dog.[9] She created the sets for the Mark Morris Dance Group production of Four Saints in Three Acts, an opera by Virgil Thompson and Gertrude Stein.
She has been a contributor for The New Yorker since 1995 and has produced many cover illustrations as well as illustrated columns.[10] Most notably, Kalman collaborated with Rick Meyerowitz for a The New Yorker cover called New Yorkistan. This cover created a lot of attention to the public since the magazine tackled tribalism in the city. The magazine emptied the newsstands within two days.[11]
Kalman's childrens book titled, "Fireboat: The Heroic Adventures of John J. Harvey" released in 2002. This childrens book focuses on New York City's more recent terror attack on the twin towers. September 11, 2001, marks the day in which the twin towers fell. John J. Harvey served for the World Trade Center attack, being one of the first responding boats arriving to the attacks that day. This book educates many young individuals who may not have been around at the time.[12] This book actively describes the history behind Harvey and the importance of this day.[13]
Kalman is also known for her illustrations for the 2005 edition of The Elements of Style, the popular guide to writing style, by William Strunk.[14]
Kalman wrote the monthly illustrated blog The Principles of Uncertainty for the New York Times for one year, ending in April 2007.[15] The blog was published in a book of the same title, which was released in 2007 to critical acclaim.[16] During 2009, Kalman wrote another illustrated blog in the New York Times called "And the Pursuit of Happiness"[17] about American democracy. The blog was published as a book in 2010. The first chapter chronicles her visit to Washington, D.C. for President Barack Obama's inauguration. Kalman's work is also featured on Rosenbach Museum and Library's 21st Century Abe project.
Kalman crafted the illustrations for author Daniel Handler's (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket) 13 Words in 2010 and Why We Broke Up in 2011.[18] The two went on to collaborate on a series of illustrated books published by The Museum of Modern Art.[19] Exploring MoMA's collection of photography, Kalman and Handler composed three themed volumes that combined vintage photographs with Kalman's paintings and Handler's prose.
In 2017, she was awarded the AIGA Medal for her work in "storytelling, illustration, and design while pushing the limits of all three."[7]
In the summer of 2017, Kalman collaborated with choreographer John Heginbotham to produce a theatrical and dance interpretation of Kalman's blog, "The Principles of Uncertainty."[20] It debuted in late August at Jacob's Pillow, and had its New York premier at the Brooklyn Academy of Music Fisher in late September. Kalman performed in the piece, playing herself.[14] Then in the Fall of that year, Kalman was a resident at the American Academy in Rome.[21]
Kalman is represented by the Julie Saul Gallery in New York City.[14] Since 2003, Kalman has had eight exhibitions here.[22]
Coming in November 2019, Kalman's publications will be exhibited in Amherst, Massachusetts at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art until April 2020.[23] This exhibit will capture Kalman's career for others to learn about her work through an educational experience.
Personal life
[edit]Maira Kalman married designer Tibor Kalman in 1981. Over the course of their marriage, Maira and Tibor had two children, Lulu and Alexander. They were married eighteen years until Tibor's death from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1999.[7]
Kalman has worked on one short film with her son titled "The Most Wonderful Day" which was published on Youtube. The short film is quirky and fun, opening with a scene at the kitchen table where then the film goes through vignette scenes throughout the house. The short film can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHcL9aGoV7Y
In 2014 Kalman has also performed in a production directed by Isaac Mizrahi’s called Peter & the Wolf at the Guggenheim’s Peter B. Lewis Theater in New York City. This production is a fun way to introduce different instruments of the orchestra to children to understand, which are played by different characters. Kalman's character is the duck which represents the sound of an oboe instrument.[24]
Kalman describes her apartment's interior style in Greenwich Village being inquisitive, digressive, lyrical, and humorous.[25]
