Carol Channing by Hirschfeld

Carol Channing was drawn by Al Hirschfeld many times and his portraits captured the energy of Miss Channing.

 

 

Hirschfeld incorporated the name of his daughter, Nina into many of his portraits and drawings. The name is always disguised in the folds of the clothes or in the hair, it is great to discover how many you can find.

This is the man himself, he lived in the Upper East Side of Manhattan and I have been past his home many times. The house has now been sold and is currently undergoing a renovation.

A great photo of Miss Channing signing Hirschfeld lithographs, two of which hang in my home.
