A rare and wonderful visit to the artist studio of the late Al Hirschfeld, the brilliant caricaturist for New York theatre for most of the 20th Century. His widow, Louise, takes us on the tour. Jim, who has idolized Al his entire life, is overcome with emotion, as you will see.
i am completely speechless...
wonderful video and my words of gratitude cannot encompass all of my emotions.
Thank you for posting this video.
Al Hirschfeld was a premiere influence ever since I was young, and in simple lines he has shown me something very special, theatre and art.
I wish I was born earlier so that I could have met him.
Thank you for this wonderful video. Thank you very much.

Many thanks!
I'm grateful to have seen the studio again. I'm also grateful to have not been there again, after he was gone.

I LOVED THIS!!!
Hirschfeld is such an influence for me too, although i know my art will never be that elegant or meaningful.
