Orson Welles, the master actor-director of theatre, radio, film and television trained at the Art Institute of Chicago and originally aspired to be an artist. For the rest of his life he made drawings and sketches, and the best are reproduced in this collection, including costume and set designs for his many productions, personal paintings, greetings cards and doodles. Slightly off-mint and felt-tip mark on lower trimmed edge.
A lavish hardback containing Orson Welles' Portfolio, much of which has never been seen before. Orson Welles, famous as an accomplished actor, writer, producer and visionary director, had originally aspired to become a musician or artist. Having studied at the Art Institute of Chicago for one summer, he continued to draw and paint throughout his life. The majority of his artwork, including costume and set designs and caricatures, has been unavailable to the public. Until now.
