Al Hirschfeld Draws Paul Newman.


When Al Hirschfeld was 99 years old, he drew Paul Newman in caricature (the process took 8 hours!). Here's a clip from the documentary film The Line King by Susan Dryfoos.

For those who enjoyed this, I strongly recommend the Jacques Rivette film "La Belle Noiseuse" (1990) starring Michel Piccoli and Emmanuelle Béart. Watching the creation of a masterpiece painting from early sketches to final painting, long stretches of it in real time looking over the shoulder as the artist draws and explores his subject.
