AdamsArtExpose’ ART DON BACHARDY Don Bachardy was the partner of British Author, Christopher Isherwood, from 1953 to Ishwerwood's death in 1986. They met on the beach in Santa Monica in 1953. Isherwood was a successful writer and co-writer with authors such as Truman Capote and Aldous Huxley. His early stories about WW II inspired "Cabaret", the musical and movie. He had come to the United States during WWII after leaving Germany prior to the war. Don Bachardy was only 18 when he met Isherwood who was 48. Isherwood was a compelling influence on Bachardy's aspirations to be an artist. He was asked by the Desert Sun Outlook Magazine in 2015 about Isherwood's influence on his artistic career. He answered, " ..In every way possible. I never would have the nerve, the courage to be an artist, even think of myself as an artist without his encouragement and support. At that time I was doing drawings of movie stars from photographs. It was at that time that Chris asked have you ever worked from life?" I said no and he said "If AdamsArtExpose’ you would like to try, I will sit for you" and that is what got me going." Since that time Don Bachardy has competed paintings and drawings of numerous celebrities. He completed a painting of former governor, Gerry Brown, which hangs in the capital building in Sacramento. Bachardy admitted that he is nervous when painting celebrities, indicating that getting them to sit for him for long periods of time is usually most challenging. His work has been primarily of face portraits however, Don said that the suggestion of doing nudes came from Theresa Russell and Teri Garr who suggested themselves that he do a nude painting of them. Since Don has completed many full body nude paintings of celebrities and non celebrities both male and female. His work has a simplicity about it that is an aspect of the uniqueness. He does not work from photographs or preliminary drawings only directly from the model posing. Don Bachary and Christopher Isherwood's long time relationship has been documented in the movie documentary, "Chris and Don: A Love 26 Free original print and Digital Version on-line. desertdailyguide.com
