The Al Hirschfeld Foundation has revealed a new online exhibition, Men About Town: Al Hirschfeld Draws Noël Coward, which is now available for perusal through June 1. The exhibition features 25 selections of legendary caricaturist Hirschfeld's artwork.
Curated by Alan Pally, the exhibition—presented in conjunction with “Coward 125,” an observance of Coward’s 125th birthday—features 25 selections of Hirschfeld’s extensive artwork focusing on the late Coward and his plays, from Private Lives to Waiting in the Wings. Nearly 40 of Hirschfeld's drawings focused on Coward's life and work.
The exhibition is presented to commemorate the late Coward's 125th birthday—the multi-hyphenate was born December 16, 1899.
Selections in the exhibition include Coward as well as the many actors who appeared in his work, including Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Laurence Olivier, Joan Collins, The Lunts, Frank Langella, Elaine Stritch, Lauren Bacall, and more.
