	The BIG Picture at PlanetCartoonist.com: Al Hirschfeld Lives! Personal Thoughts On Caricature's Uncommon Genius by Bob ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		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.
		Al Hirschfeld, the small, bright-eyed man with the kind eyes and the uncanny resemblance to Santa Claus, called to me from his drawing table "Are you Bob?", as I mindlessly walked over to shake his hand.
		Hirschfeld didn't utter a word, but cocked his head left then right to look at the drawing, unfolded his arms and grabbed a corded device that resembled an exceptionally mean dental tool, turned it on and ground it in until the large arm had been reduced to nothing more than electric eraser dust.

	Al Hirschfeld, 99, Dies; He Drew Broadway
		Hirschfeld's reinventions caught the spirit of their subjects with lines that, studied individually, might seem irrelevant but, taken together, added up to characteristic eyes, hairdos and motions -- all in such a way as to distill the character of his subject.
		Hirschfeld cut a striking figure, a lively, white-haired, white-bearded man about 5 feet 8 inches tall, who saw himself this way: ''A couple of huge eyes and huge mattress of hair.
		Hirschfeld was the most celebrated artist in the theater and on June 21, when he would have been 100 years old, he will have the ultimate Broadway accolade.

		Hirschfeld conceded that it was one of the phenomena of caricature that often, in a way, the subject began to look more like the drawing than he actually looked like himself.
		Hirschfeld was never a salaried employee of The Times but worked on a freelance basis that left ownership of his work in his hands after it had been published in the newspaper.

		Hirschfeld drew everything from magazine covers to postage stamps, but he's best known for his newspaper drawings of performing artists, the Marx Brothers, Barbra Streisand, Meryl Streep.
		But to have his name on the marquis, to be able to say, "tonight we're going to the Al Hirschfeld," or tonight we're going to the Hirschfeld to see "Guys and Dolls" or "My Fair Lady," whatever the show would happen to be, I think that in itself lends a certain excitement.
		And I said, "well, al, can you show me where those five Ninas are?" And he went through one, two, three, four, and he couldn't for the life of him find the fifth Nina.

		Hirschfeld put motion and emotion in all his still-lifes, infused buoyancy and elan in a weighty Sunday newspaper The New York Times, whose Arts and Leisure section he had adorned and, heaven knows, enlivened for three quarters of a century.
		If Hirschfeld was using an obsolete art (what newspaper printed drawings any more?) in the service of an obsolescent one (who goes to the theater?), his work never grew senescent.

	Halfbakery: Al Hirschfeld Machine
		Celebrated caricaturist Al Hirshfeld has been at it for decades, to the point where I’m not sure what the New York Times’s Arts and Leisure section will do without him.
		What makes Hirschfeld an interesting candidate for the inspiration for such a device is his style: the caricatures are composed solely of relatively simple line drawings.
		I suspect that a Hirschfeld expert system would be possible using existing technology --- it would produce a simple caricature, and allow a human operator to alter which features are exaggerated how much, to indicate character, while the program keeps the drawing in the trademark style.

		Included in the crowd were Hirschfeld's widow, Louise, and Nina, the daughter the artist made famous by hiding her name in countless pen-and-ink drawings.
		"A Hirschfeld drawing gave you wit and style you didn't know you possessed," quipped Miller, who added that he was convinced that the artist had grown his enormous beard to mask his reactions to the shows he saw.
		Miller's words were accompanied by a projection of a Hirschfeld of the playwright; every subsequent speaker was similarly shadowed by the caricaturist's vision of the man or woman.

		Hirschfeld's attorney, David Wolf, said Hirschfeld was "seeking to regain control of his artwork," which has captured the likes of Leonard Bernstein, W.C. Fields, Jerry Seinfeld and Bob Dylan.
		Hirschfeld has been represented by Margo Feiden Galleries since the early 1970s, and the two signed a contract consigning his work to her in 1974.
		The contract, which Hirschfeld terminated March 1 by letter, gave Feiden near-total control of his work and allowed her gallery to buy his artworks "at an unreasonably low price," resell them for higher prices and pay the artist about $12,000 this year, the lawsuit says.

	The Line King: Al Hirschfeld
		Hirschfeld looks himself like a prime candidate for caricature, with his long white beard and bushy fl eyebrows and he has, indeed, done a good many self portraits.
		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.
		It is also fascinating to watch the development of the work over the years: it gets simpler and more direct, Hirschfeld's skill honed to remove anything extraneous and give us with the most graceful of lines extraordinarily perceptive insights into the hearts of his glamorous subjects.

		Albert Hirschfeld was born in St. Louis, youngest of three brothers; one older sibling was also named Al (Alexander — their parents had a sense of humor too), the other Milton (he died in the influenza epidemic of 1919).
		Young Al still had high-art ideals, and with an uncle's largesse ($500, which for the mid-20s was very large indeed), he sailed for a year in Europe.
		Hirschfeld began hiding her name within his portraits of famous men and women — in a Gwyneth Paltrow gown, in a Groucho jacket fold.

		Hirschfeld knew about the exhibition and was intrigued by the organizing principle that Rosenstein developed.
		Although fans rejoiced in spotting Hirschfeld at Broadway openings (not to mention the trademark Ninas in his drawings) and thought of that as his native habitat, Leopold says he spent nearly all his time working in the studio he kept on the fourth floor of his Upper East Side brownstone.
		Hirschfeld called those pocket sketches "hieroglyphics" and would augment them with short, quirky verbal descriptions ("Arm = fricassee chicken") of what he was watching.

		n Line With Al Hirschfeld: An Al Hirschfeld Retrospective" is the first museum retrospective to document Al Hirschfeld's life, 70 year career and, to a great extent, the history of the performing arts in the 20th century and beyond.
		Self-described as a "characterist," Hirschfeld strives to capture the spirit and personality of his subject, rather than to distort its figure.
		This exhibition demonstrates that intuitively, Hirschfeld assimilated the graphic sense of both his friends John Held and Miquel Covarrubias and the manipulation of perspective of Japanese print masters Hokusai and Utamaro.

	Al Hirschfeld, Beyond Broadway (Library of Congress - Swann Foundataion Exhibition)
		Al Hirschfeld and Broadway have been inseparable for seventy-five years, since he published his first theatrical caricature in 1926.
		Al Hirschfeld, Beyond Broadway celebrates a "Gift to the Nation" of original drawings given by the artist in honor of the Library's Bicentennial.
		These works for the most part bring us outside the familiar in Hirschfeld's graphic repertoire, suggesting that his magical mastery of line evolved in locales beyond the Great White Way--in the markets of Morocco, the studios of Paris, the jazz bars of Manhattan, and the villages of Bali.
