Mr. TIME: Portraits by Boris Chaliapin
A new exhibit opened on Friday at the National Portrait Gallery, featuring over 300 portraits by TIME Magazine cover artist Boris Chaliapin. From the gallery:
Boris Chaliapin was the portrait artist Time magazine’s editors turned to first when they needed a cover in a hurry. As Time’s most prolific artist he created 413 covers for the publication. He could execute excellent likenesses in as little as 12 hours; record speed for the years between 1942 and 1970 when he was with the magazine. Week after week, millions of faithful readers recognized Chaliapin’s familiar signature on the cover. Chaliapin’s nickname from his co-workers was “Mr. TIME.”
