Albert Hirschfeld  (June 21, 1903 – January 20, 2003) was an American caricaturist  best known for his black and white portraits of celebrities and Broadway  stars. Al Hirschfeld was born in a two-story duplex at 1313 Carr Street in St. Louis , and later moved with his family to New York City, where he received his art training at the Art Students League of New York . Following a divorce from Florence Ruth Hobby, in 1943, he married Broadway actress/performer Dolly Haas . Haas died from ovarian cancer in 1994, aged 84. They had one child, a daughter, Nina (b. 1945). In 1996, he married Louise Kerz, a theatre historian. In 1924, Hirschfeld traveled to Paris and London, where he studied painting, drawing and sculpture. When he returned to the United States, a friend, fabled Broadway press agent  Richard Maney, showed one of Hirschfeld's drawings to an editor at the New York Herald Tribune , which got Hirschfeld commissions for that newspaper and then, later, The New York Times . Hirschfeld's style is unique, and he is considered to be one of the most important figures in contemporary drawing and caricature, having influenced countless artists, illustrators, and cartoonists. His caricatures were regularly drawings of pure line in black ink, for which he used a genuine crow  quill. Readers of The New York Times  and other newspapers prior to the time they printed in color will be most familiar with the Hirschfeld drawings that are black ink on white illustration board. However, there is a whole body of Hirschfeld's work in color.[5]  Hirschfeld's full-color paintings were commissioned by many magazines, often as the cover. Examples are TV Guide Life Magazine American Mercury Look Magazine The New York Times Magazine The New Masses , and Seventeen Magazine . He also illustrated many books in color, most notably among them Harlem As Seen By Hirschfeld , with text by William Saroyan. He was commissioned by CBS  to illustrate a preview magazine featuring the network's new TV programming in fall 1963. One of the programs was Candid Camera , and Hirschfeld's caricature of the show's host Allen Funt  outraged Funt so much he threatened to leave the network if the magazine were issued.[ Hirschfeld prepared a slightly different likeness, perhaps more flattering, but he and the network pointed out to Funt that the artwork prepared for newspapers and some other print media had been long in preparation and it was too late to withdraw it. Funt relented but insisted that what could be changed would have to be. Newsweek  ran a squib  on the controversy. Hirschfeld started young and continued drawing to the end of his life, thus chronicling nearly all the major entertainment figures of the 20th century. During his eight-decade career, he gained fame by illustrating the actors, singers, and dancers of various Broadway plays, which would appear in advance in The New York Times  to herald the play's opening. Though the theater was his best-known field of interest, according to Hirschfeld's art dealer Margo Feiden, he actually drew more for the movies than he did for live plays. "By the ripe old age of 17, while his contemporaries were learning how to sharpen pencils, Hirschfeld became an art director at Selznick Pictures . He held the position for about four years, and then in 1924 Hirschfeld moved to Paris to work and lead the Bohemian life. Hirschfeld also grew a beard, necessitated by the exigencies of living in a cold water flat. This he retained for the next 75 years, presumably because "you never know when your oil burner will go on the fritz." In addition to Broadway and film, Hirschfeld also drew politicians, TV stars, and celebrities of all stripes from Cole Porter  and the Nicholas Brothers  to the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation . He also caricatured jazz musicians— Glenn Miller Duke Ellington Count Basie Dizzy Gillespie Billie Holiday , and Ella Fitzgerald —and rockers The Beatles Elvis Presley Bruce Springsteen Bob Dylan Jerry Garcia , and Mick Jagger . In 1977 he drew the cover of Aerosmith 's Draw the Line  album. Hirschfeld drew many original movie posters, including for Charlie Chaplin 's films, as well as The Wizard of Oz  (1939). The "Rhapsody in Blue " segment in the Disney  film Fantasia 2000  was inspired by his designs, and Hirschfeld became an artistic consultant for the segment; the segment's director, Eric Goldberg , is a longtime fan of his work. Further evidence of Goldberg's admiration for Hirschfeld can be found in Goldberg's character design and animation of the genie in Aladdin  (1992). He was the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary film The Line King: The Al Hirschfeld Story  (1996).
