About This Item
Glenn Young Books, 2005-11-01. paperback. Very Good. 7x0x10. Glenn Young Books [Published Date: 2005]. Soft cover, 221 pp. In very good condition. Glossy illustrated paper covers have light bumping to edges and corners and light overall scuffing. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. NOT Ex-Library. NO remainder marks. Black and white illustrations. [From back cover] That Al Hisrchfeld drew New York and that Hirschfeld drew Hollywood is hardly news. But it will come as a revelation to even the artist's most ardent fans that in the Hirschfeld archive more than five hundred works are dedicated to his British subjects. Until Louise Kerz Hirschfeld connected all the dots, evidence of the artist's lifelong Anglomania had remained dispersed among hundreds of portfolios In different locations. Mrs. Hirschfeld has convened the first-ever reunion of actors, directors, playwrights, politicians, publicans, musicians - enough to gloriously fill a new volume populated with nearly eight decades of Hirschfeld's British Aisles'. Here are the fabled luminaries of the West End - Gielgud, Richardson, Olivier, Coward, Guinness, Scofield - dramatized on the page as only Hirschfeld can, captured in their moments of stage glory by the only recording device allowed in the theatre: Al Hirschfeld's pencil. Here are past luminaries brought vibrantly back to life: Beatrice Lillie, Peter Ustinov, Gertrude Lawrence, Margaret Rutherford, Rex Harrison. And here too are the newer waves of British thesps: Jeremy Irons, Tracey Ullman, Natasha Richardson, Roger Rees, Julie Andrews, Jonathan Pryce, Lynn Redgrave. Even Twiggy, the only human thinner than a Hirschfeld line, makes an appearance - with plenty of room for Tony Walton's skinny on his old friend.
