Paul Gassenheimer’s Hollywood Dream series enjoyed much acclaim while on exhibit in London. Working in pencil, pastel, red chalk, crayon, and oil, he exquisitely renders classic Hollywood stars and other subjects in almost photographic detail that captures the essence of his subjects. Born in Austria in 1952, he abandoned a technical engineering career in order to pursue art. He founded the Vienna Portrait Studio, and has given workshops to share his knowledge. His works have been exhibited in Paris, London, Frankfurt and New York.
