………………………..Over his lifetime as an illustrator he did many portraits. It isn’t usual for a fashion illustrator to do portraits or to capture a persons spirit on a blank piece of paper….but he did, and he did it beautifully. Above, is just a small sampling of his portraits………..Starting at the top left….Babe Paley and Amanda Burden, Gloria Vanderbilt, Yves St. Laurent, Diana Vreeland, Lauren Bacall [inset], and Pat Buckley [love this portrait]. The bottom row starting at the left, Babe Paley, Lee Radziwill, Jackie Kennedy, Pauline Trigere, Audrey Hepburn, and Lady Mendl with the Duchess of Windsor. I was lucky enough to have my own portrait done by the master!
Louis, do you have a copy of the portrait which he did of you that you can post?
coming tomorrow!
