AL HIRSCHFELD and JACK ROSEN
Al Hischfeld and Jack Rosen inscribe a caricature.
Original Caricature inscribed and signed: "To a fellow
caricaturist/Hirschfeld" in pencil, 8¼x10¼ overall, image 6¾x8½ (one
surface). Drawn by caricaturist JACK ROSEN who has signed it: "JR"
in black ink. AL HIRSCHFELD (1903-2003) was a renowned cartoonist,
author and theatrical caricaturist with "The New York Times" from 1929. From
1945 on, Hirschfeld began incorporating the name of his daughter, Nina, in
his drawings. The addition became so popular with his audience that after
1956 he began adding a numeral after his signature to signify how many "NINAs"
he had hidden in the work. Hirschfeld died on January 20, 2003 at the age of 99.
JACK ROSEN, as head of Security at New York City's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel,
often accompanied important guests to their rooms, sketched them in the
elevator, finished the drawing at home and got it autographed. It is rare
when an artist signs a portrait of himself accomplished by another artist.
Slightly creased, touching signature and 1 word of inscription. Lightly soiled
at blank areas. Fine condition.
