Divining the Human with Alexander Newley
Artist Alexander Newley will talk about his new book and art monograph, Divining The Human, which chronicles his life and work as one of the world’s leading portrait artists, with famous subjects such as Billy Wilder, Gore Vidal, Christopher Reeve, and Dame Judi Dench. Newley will share the fascinating stories behind the portraits, from his raucous 10-day stay with Vidal in Italy, to his Hollywood encounters with iconic film directors such as Wilder and Oliver Stone. He’ll also reveal the creative process behind all aspects of his multi-faceted oeuvre, from landscape to abstraction, still-life to the nude.
