Al Hirschfeld was an Jewish-American caricaturist who lived from 1903-2003 and filled his days with fluid ink drawings of celebrities and politicians. It was his ability to take pop culture and transform it into high art that makes his work so special. All his images are so special and always amaze when you view them. His work is in many museums including DC's own National Portrait Gallery. You can still buy his work through the Margot Feiden Galleries.
