Artist
Albert Hirshfeld
Medium
Mixed Media - Etching On Paper 49/150
Description
Albert Hirschfeld became famous for his personality caricatures of theater people, pen and ink work he did in his position as Theater Caricaturist for The New York Times. He earned 23 awards including in 1984 a special Tony Award, which was a sign that the theater world welcomed him as one of their own. His work also appeared in other newspapers and books, and in 1996, a film documentary of his life titled The Line King, was nominated for an Academy Award. That same year Hirschfeld was named one of six New York City Landmarks by the New York Landmarks Conservancy.
He was a familiar figure at first-night openings, and rehearsals, and he perfected a method of making a sketch in the dark. To be one of his subjects was regarded as a special honor, and feelings of triumph often were felt by his followers who found the word "Nina" in his work. Nina was the name of his daughter, and he would hide the name in the lines of his caricatures. This is a caricature of the famous Barbara Streisand wearing a large black hat with a feathered wrap. It is framed measuring 17.5 in width by 21.5 in height and signed on the lower right and numbered 49/150 on the lower left.
