ReviewsThe hundreds of pages of portraits in the new book give fresh life to many of these faces we know from handfuls of often recycled film stills., Hollywood, by Don Bachardy explores Bachardy's wonderfully expressive portraits of some of the largest names in show business including the artist Himself, Christopher Isherwood and Jane Fonda. Up close and personal., Hollywood is the highly anticipated monograph of celebrated portrait artist Don Bachardy, with a Preface written by Armistead Maupin. With more than 300 original paintings and drawings, this stunning collection features the most famous actors and influential figures in Hollywood including directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, costumers, producers, and agents., Interspersed like palate cleansers are his delightful abstracts which come as a zen-like surprise. The sheer number of famous people Bachardy has painted is hard to believe. And he has been gathering these portraits and autographs for 50 years., With the release of Hollywood, Bachardy says he's done his service to this storied town...For the time being, though, he is just happy to see so many of them in Hollywood, which contains the greatest variety of his work of any book. It's a tribute to his age and experience, which has taught him where to look for truth in the quiet moments that pass between him and another human., His latest book, Hollywood, published in November of this year, includes over 300 works, from his subtle pencil-on-paper explorations to his bold-stroked, fauvist color paintings. Included is a galaxy of stars and cultural icons from the last century as well as some new millennium personalities., At 80, Don Bachardy has built a body of work that can only be described as staggering. With tremendous detail and nuance, he has drawn or painted the portraits of thousands of people, many of them noteworthy luminaries of the Hollywood star system., The hundreds of pages of portraits in the new book give fresh life to many of these faces we know from handfuls of often recycled film stills. That life is apparent because Bachardy never worked from photos--as Tom Ford learned the hard way. As the book's introduction points out, when Ford sat for Bachardy his legs grew numb. 'If I had only three weeks to live, I'd spend them all sitting for Don,' he writes, 'because every hour would feel like a year.'
