Murray Abraham Stockard Channing Bernadette Peters Uta Hagen Eli Wallach B.D. Wong and Jack Klugman.Al Hirschfeld's devotion to line comes from a fundamental aesthetic—respect for absolute simplicity: ""When I'm rushed I do a complicated drawing. When I have the time I do a simple one."" Hirschfeld: Eight Decades provides a fantastic retrospective of this artist's prolific career with an introduction by Alistair Cooke and an essay by Hirschfeld on his beginnings and his process. ""The drawing itself whether it is of Chaplin or Garbo or someone completely unknown has to communicate something about the personality that exists in that human being I am drawing. To capture personality in graphic terms is the problem I try to solve in every drawing and every drawing dictates its own solutions."" Inner hinges expertly reinforced expert restoration to spin head of dust jacket. A wonderful collection of caricatures and signatures. hardcover
