Frank Lieberman (1910 – ?) began freelancing in 1932. He worked as an Art Director for Print magazine. He illustrated covers for Vanity Fair and Vogue. His clients included Reynolds Metals, MacLeans magazine, Century Music Publishing, E. P. Dutton, Farrar and Rinehart, Alfred A. Knopf, Random House, Scribners and Viking Press. His work has been exhibited at E. Weyhe's Gallery, the Cinncinati Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago.

PM magazine was the leading voice of the U. S. Graphic Arts Industry from its inception in 1934 to its end in 1942 (then called AD). As a publication produced by and for professionals, it spotlighted cutting-edge production technology and the highest possible quality reproduction techniques (from engraving to plates). PM and A-D also championed the Modern movement by showcasing work from the vanguard of the European Avant-Garde well before this type of work was known to a wide audience.
