About the Item

Groucho Marx Caricature Drawing Movie Star Comedy Legend NTY Times Published Al Hirschfeld (American, 1903 - 2003) Groucho: A Life In Revue Sight: 23 3/4 x 11 3/4 Lithograph on paper, 1986 Signed lower right, numbered 145/175 lower left Framed: 32 x 19 inches Al Hirschfeld, known for his iconic New York theater illustrations, drew a portrait of Frank Ferrante as Groucho Marx in the off-Broadway production "Groucho: A Life in Revue," which appeared in The New York Times in December 12, 1986. Our gallery offers many original drawings and lithographs by Al Hirschfeld. BIO Al Hirschfeld’s (1903-2003) drawings stand as one of the most innovative efforts in establishing the visual language of modern art through caricature in the 20th century. A self described “characterist,” his signature work, defined by a linear calligraphic style, appeared in virtually every major publication of the last nine (including a 75 year relationship with The New York Times) as well as numerous book and record covers and 15 postage stamps. He is represented in many public collections, including the Metropolitan, the Whitney, the National Portrait Gallery, and Harvard’s Theater Collection. Hirschfeld authored several books including Manhattan Oases and Show Business is No Business in addition to 10 collections of his work. He was declared a Living Landmark by the New York City Landmarks Commission in 1996 and a Living Legend by the Library of Congress in 2000. Just before his death in January 2003, he learned he was to be awarded the Medal of Arts from the National Endowment of the Arts and inducted into the Academy of Arts and Letters. The winner of two Tony Awards, he was be given the ultimate Broadway accolade on what would have been his 100th birthday in June 2003. The Martin Beck Theater was renamed the Al Hirschfeld Theater. A database of all of his works can be found on the Al Hirschfeld Foundation's website.
