What is the secret to living to 100? I’m in Hollywood attending the 99th birthday of Hilary Knight. Here’s my gift bag - with his beautiful watercolor of me - a poster he designed for my show Songs For A Blue Angel- a Marlene Dietrich tribute. The show was Hilary’s idea. I hardly knew who she was - but I studied German and learned her songs. Hilary designed my costumes. Jewelry- the whole show- all of his videos of the show burned to ash last year in the Altadena Fire - just as the @nypl Performing Arts Division was expressing interest in taking the tapes. #theartoffriendship
COMING SOON -> Opening Nov. 12, Eloise and More: The Life and Art of Hilary Knight, https://t.co/6qsPK36P7M
Rarely seen works, including trial Eloise drawings from Hilary Knight in 1954, and a once-stolen Eloise portrait from the Plaza Hotel. #EloiseAtThePlaza
Happy birthday Katherine Sturges Dodge. The busy illustrator, commercial artist, and author, remembered for delicate illustrations for children's books and ceramic designs, was born today in 1890.
Did someone say "Birthday"? Oh yes of course it is @MrHilaryKnight Birthday today - wishing you all the very best for a super day full of friends, family and fun xx
Emmy-award-winning TV producer Jac Venza was one of the artists who added #ArchivesSparkle to the #LilacHedges holiday card catalog. He was also responsible for hiring artists like @MrHilaryKnight and Andy Warhol to design cards for the company. #ArchivesHashtagParty
@mychal3ts Not sure how I'd choose which Eloise by @MrHilaryKnight is my forever mood. (Possibly thinking of a way to get a present.) Getting bored is not allowed.
From the #IDPodcast archive:
In Episode 52, Giuseppe spoke with Hilary Knight (@MrHilaryKnight) about his life and work as an illustrator; his relationship with Kay Thompson; the creation of “Eloise”; and more. https://t.co/PLaDE4yH54
