| The Super Seventies Photo Gallery | 
|
 ere's a collection of 170 portraits of famous Seventies personalities by some of the decade's top commercial and fine artists, including Richard Amsel, Kim Whitesides, Robert Risko, Mick Haggerty, Doug Johnson, Lou Brooks, Robert Grossman, Richard Bernstein and many others. The illustrations originally appeared in leading magazines such as Time, TV Guide, Playboy and Rolling Stone, as well as in newspaper editorial pages, advertisements, album covers, and other pop products like cards and buttons, between 1970 and 1980.
Navigate through the portrait gallery simply by using the buttons below the first illustration. The Seventies Celebrity Portrait Gallery requires at least MSIE 4.x or Netscape 3.x with JavaScript enabled.
We are all attracted to fame. The famous are talked about,
watched, and dreamed of -- we cheer for them, put their pictures on
our walls, and discuss their success or misfortune.
As you look through this collection of illustrations, notice the number
of celebrities you recognize and consider how much you know about
them. Like magic, these personalities have risen above the rest of us;
with a little glitter and luck, they have made a place in the
daily world. We share our lives with them.
Fame creates heroes. Personalities become objects of awe and
assume power over us. They sell products, advocate causes,
stand in defiance, or quietly lead us to accept the status quo.
These illustrations force us to step back and see in a new way.
Look at Larry Flynt as a nun, Jerry Ford eating ice cream, or
Ralph Nader disguised as the Lone Ranger. Through the art of
caricature, illustrators put a healthy smile on our faces and
remind us how human these people really are.
Fame is capricious, yet sometimes success is well deserved.
The portraits of Golda Meir, Bruce Springsteen, and Henry Fonda
(among others) remind us that there are still people with
special gifts and private talents beyond our reach. We are
glad to be in the world with them. Their fame enriches us all.
The artists here succeed in renewing the legends of great stars.
Like a good song or poem, a strong illustration focuses
experience and allows us to see more in what may appear at first
to be very little. These artists capture our imaginations and
present the fashion, glamour, and hope of success that attracts
us to famous celebrities.
