Rec. #315: The Line King: The Al Hirschfeld Story



What: This documentary about legendary caricaturist Al Hirschfeld admittedly spends about 60% of the time showing Hirschfeld's instantly recognizable line drawings. But his drawings are fantastic, so no complaints here.

Comparable to: Bill Cunningham New York is another documentary about a slightly-eccentric-older-man-artist-in-New-York-City.

Representative quote: "Sculpture is really a drawing that you fall over in the dark."

Connection to previous Wreckage: Bill Cunningham New York was Rec. #223.
