Al Hirschfeld The legendary Al Hirschfeld (1904-2003) drew caricatures for more than 80 years, and his satirical drawings have appeared in the pages of The New York Times for more than 70 years. (He started hiding his daughter Nina’s name in the hair, wrinkles, clothing and accessories of his portrait subjects in 1945.) The “Line King” whose pen-and-ink drawings are now as emblematic of the New York theater scene as Sardi’s or Times Square started his career in the publicity and advertising departments of the Hollywood studios, ultimately creating film art for MGM for 33 years. Hirschfeld’s works are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum, and Harvard University’s Fogg Museum, among many others.
