What to read this weekend: ‘The Hirschfeld Century’
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but for decades, when it came to visualizing theater, film or television, an Al Hirschfeld drawing was worth a thousand pictures. “The Hirschfeld Century” (Knopf; $40) is a definitive collection of the late artist’s work, augmented with insightful text from David Leopold. You can count the “Nina’s” to your heart’s content.
