Notes
  • Exhibited: Beethoven Piano Mystique, April-July 2018. Note from seller: "Louis Lupas was widely acclaimed for his pastel portraits of Presidents, politicians, and other high-profile figures. Lupas first honed his drawing skills as an artist for the Herald tribune's Theatre section and in the 1950s was convinced by Sen. Barry Goldwater to visit Washington, D.C., where he was soon solidly engaged creating portraits of high society. He is perhaps most celebrated for his portraits of JFK who sat for him while President, but Lupas also did a series of vivid charcoal portraits of composers which were widely reproduced as prints. The present example is one of his original charcoal works."
