Cole Porter - bust of a songwriter in gypsum, faux bronze patina

Sorry, this item has sold.

  • Details
    Cole was extremely difficult, and I still don't feel I have a likeness of him....but then even Al Hirschfeld had a hard time with him.... almost none of Al's caricatures (and he is THE man with Broadway faces) strike you as Cole personified! I started him over from scratch 4 times.... only bested by Francois Poulenc (who I haven't yet captured).

    If you're a Cole fan, though, this little bust does him gravity. Buy him, and he's YOURS!
