About the Item
Jim's of Lambertville Fine Art Gallery is proud to present this piece by Albert Hirschfeld (1903 – 2003).
At the age of 12, Albert Hirschfeld, the famed caricaturist who depicted figures in the New York theater world, moved with his family from St. Louis to New York, where he studied at the Art Students League. He became the art director for David O. Selznick, the motion-picture producer, at 18 years of age. In 1924, Hirschfeld attended the Academie Julian in Paris where he studied painting, sculpture, and drawing.
Hirschfeld’s pen and ink drawings have appeared in The New York Times, Life Magazine, and TV Guide, among many other publications. After the birth of his daughter in 1945, Hirschfeld began to hide her name, Nina, in the line work of his drawings published in The New York Times. He has received 23 awards, including the National Medal of Arts in 2002 and a special Tony Award in 1984, and a theater in New York City was dedicated to him in 2003.

Albert Al Hirschfeld
For nearly 70 years, Al Hirschfeld created iconic caricatures of theater, film and television celebrities, capturing moments in time and documenting U.S. entertainment history in the process. Art historian Lloyd Goodrich called Hirschfeld “one of the few masters of graphic humor.” "New York Times" art critic John Russell dubbed him “the Fred Astaire of pen and ink.” Brendan Gill of "The New Yorker" stated, “To be a star on Broadway is to be drawn by Hirschfeld.” And many performers believed that, regardless of any other accolades they might achieve, “if Al Hirschfeld hasn’t drawn you, you don’t exist.” Hirschfeld began his career as a political cartoonist and became a theater caricaturist for "The New York Times" in 1925. He began creating his pure line drawings on a trip to Bali in the 1930s, and, over the course of his career, mastered the technique of using lines to capture the spirit and personality of his subjects. Hidden in each drawing is his daughter’s name, Nina, and so many people became obsessed with finding all of the Nina’s, that he developed a system of noting the number of Nina’s in each work next to his signature. In addition to "The New Yorker" and "The New York Times," Hirschfeld’s drawings appeared on playbills and posters as well as in advertisements. As a result of his work, he earned two Tony awards for lifetime achievement in theater and had a Broadway theater renamed in his honor.
