Riassunto

It requires skilled eyes and hands for artists to render subjects by translating their personalities, physical traits and careers into a few well-executed lines. Having worked for such publications as The New York Times, Esquire UK, Wallpaper and Time Out London, Noma Bar is one illustrator capable of such visual feats. From famous celebrities such as Stephen Spielberg to more infamous ones like Michael Jackson, to cultural icons like Albert Einstein and Elvis, to political figures like George Bush and Saddam Hussein, Bar has made a career of creating unique caricatures through illustrations that rely on the power of association, and sometimes a but of imagination. Stephen King has hatchet eyes; broken chains accent Nelson Mandela's facial expression; Joseph Stalin's nose and mouth are shaped like the hammer and sickle. All of Bar's faces exude the power of the visual, in that we recognize who they are through what they do.
