A beautiful gift-ready collection of 25 removable, ready-to-frame prints by Al Hirschfeld featuring some of the most recognizable icons of the 20th century
To be a star on Broadway is to have one's name in lights, yes, but it is also, and more significantly, to be drawn by Hirschfeld. --Brendan Gill
When it comes to icons, Al Hirschfeld captured just about all from his era: Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Elvis Presley, Liza Minnelli, Julie Andrews, Sammy Davis Jr., Chita Rivera, Richard Pryor, Laurel and Hardy, and the Marx Brothers. Hirschfeld's drawings over an unprecedented 80-year career have often become the definitive representations of these performers.
Hirschfeld's Icons contains the master's portraits of these icons, some of the greatest actors, actresses, musicians, movie, and TV stars of the past century. No other artist has had a front-row seat to pop culture the way Hirschfeld did.
Accompanied by expert commentary and biographies by David Leopold, the foremost expert on Hirschfeld and the Creative Director of the Al Hirschfeld Foundation, we showcase the best of the best--including rare images from the archives and an all-new introduction by Dick Cavett.
According to Merriam-Webster, an icon is a person or thing widely admired especially for having great influence or significance in a particular sphere.
Hirschfeld's Icons captures not just the most memorable roles of these icons from theater, film, music, dance, and television--a tour de force of some of the greatest entertainers of the last 100 years--but it reaffirms Hirschfeld's legacy as one of our most iconic artists as well.
Plus don't miss Hirschfeld's Sondheim, the perfect collection of 25 favorite Al Hirschfeld portraits drawn from Stephen Sondheim's musicals--a national bestseller.
