HIRSCHFELDS ICONS TP

A deluxe, gift-ready collection of 25 removable, frame-ready prints by Al Hirschfeld depicting some of the best-known icons of the 20th century.

“Being a star on Broadway means seeing your name in lights - but just as much, and perhaps more importantly, being drawn by Hirschfeld.” - Brendan Gill

Hirschfeld captured nearly every icon of his era, including:

• Marilyn Monroe
• Charlie Chaplin
• Elvis Presley
• Liza Minnelli
• Julie Andrews
• Sammy Davis Jr.
• Chita Rivera
• Richard Pryor
• Laurel and Hardy
• Marx Brothers

Over an unparalleled career of 80 years, many of his drawings have become the defining depictions of these artists. Hirschfeld’s Icons brings together the best portraits from theater, film, music, dance, and television, accompanied by knowledgeable commentary and biographies by David Leopold, the leading Hirschfeld expert and creative director of the Al Hirschfeld Foundation. Rare archival images and a new introduction by Dick Cavett round out the volume.

According to Merriam-Webster, an “icon” is a person or thing widely admired for great influence or significance. This book not only captures the most memorable roles of these icons - a true tour de force of the greatest entertainers of the last 100 years - but also affirms Hirschfeld’s legacy as one of the most iconic artists of our time.
