Faces: 78 Portraits from Madonna to the Pope

Faces: 78 Portraits from Madonna to the Pope by Steve Brodner. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780764921315.

In "Faces by Hanoch Piven: 78 Portraits from Madonna to the Pope," Piven has taken the art of caricature to a whole new level. Within the seven categories of TV, film, music, American politics, the world, finance, and miscellaneous, this book presents 78 deliciously wicked takes on the likes of such diverse folks as Sigmund Freud, Marilyn Monroe, and the Unabomber. With a minimalist stroke of his deft hand, combined with an object related to what the subject is noted for - along with his sharp wit - Piven presents his vision of the celebrities he portrays. Thus we have Steven Spielbergs beard and mustache expressed with strips of film; Jesse Jacksons mouth is a speaker; and, of course, Barbra Steisands nose is a microphone. This delightful collection of portraits sheds new light on the most familiar faces of our time.
