| | Hirschfeld never imposed his style on a celebrity, he injected it into them to create a symbiosis between the art and the subject, a characteristic as de rigeur in his work as his trademark NINA. | | | Al Hirschfeld died last month at the age of 99, a number that, interestingly enough looks eerily like a pair of abstracted eyes that the artist might swirl out of his pen. | | | Hirschfeld and his then wife, Dolly, lived in a brownstone on the shady, southern side of tree-lined East 95th Street, his third floor studio bathed in idealized northern light. |

| | Hirschfeld's style may be called distinctly American, since it combines influences from around the world: the Mexican graphic approach of Covarrubias; the thin French line he discovered in Paris and in the work of Held; the bolder draughtsmanship from the German journal Simplicissimus; the elegant manipulation of values and perspective found in Japanese woodcuts. | | | Hirschfeld was frequently drawn to work on musicals and comedies - films and stage productions with "the glandular actors", as the artist referred to them. | | | The Film Art of Al Hirschfeld is at the National Theatre, London SE1 (020 7452 3400), from Wednesday to August 13. |

| | The Line King - The Al Hirschfeld Story DVD Review |
| | A lovely biography of entertainment caricaturist Hirschfeld, this film is a fascinating look behind the pen of a man who transcended his genre to become almost an art form unto himself. | | | He was 90 years old when interviewed in the film, but seems almost childlike in his delight for his life-long passion. | | | The camouflaged "Nina"s, the barber chair in which he created decades of work, the almost Santa Claus-ish look of the artist - all add up to a man that, if he were imagined by a Hollywood writer, would be deemed wholly unbelievable by cartoonists such as myself. |

| | The Line King: Al Hirschfeld |
| | CV loves Hirschfeld's work best when he draws dancers, for that lighter than air quality is carried into these portraits of artists of motion and he captures the very essence of dance movement. | | | He originally wanted to be a sculptor, he tells us: "Sculpture is a drawing you fall over in the dark." While he has drawn people from all parts of show business and politics, too, it is his documentation of all those decades of Broadway history that endear him to lovers of the theater. | | | It would be easy to underrate the man's work and relegate it to a category called "caricature." For while it certainly is that, Hirschfeld's caricatures transcend the genre and are incontestably great art. |
