Reviews
Interspersed like palate cleansers are his delightful abstracts which come as a zen-like surprise. The sheer number of famous people Bachardy has painted is hard to believe. And he has been gathering these portraits and autographs for 50 years.--Christopher Harrity The Advocate, September 29, 2014
His latest book, Hollywood, published in November of this year, includes over 300 works, from his subtle pencil-on-paper explorations to his bold-stroked, fauvist color paintings. Included is a galaxy of stars and cultural icons from the last century as well as some new millennium personalities.--Christopher Harrity The Advocate, November 26, 2014
Working from life, and never from photographs, Bachardy captures his sitter s essence as he focuses on elements such as personality, physique, mood, and color. For his first monograph of portrait work, the artist personally selected more than 300 original paintings and drawings that best represent his oeuvre.--Miss Rosen Crave Online, June 12, 2015

His drawings and paintings are in the collections of many major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the de Young, San Francisco; the Fogg Museum, Cambridge, MA; the Smithsonian, Washington D.C.; and the National Portrait Gallery, London. He has published nine books of drawings, including two collaborations with Christopher Isherwood. Armistead Maupin (born in 1944) is an esteemed American writer. Maupin worked as a reporter for a newspaper in Charleston, South Carolina before being assigned to the San Francisco bureau of the Associated Press in 1971. In 1976, he launched his groundbreaking Tales of the City serial in the San Francisco Chronicle. Maupin is the author of nine novels, including the six-volume Tales of the City series, Maybe the Moon, The Night Listener, and, most recently, Michael Tolliver Lives. Three miniseries starring Olympia Dukakis and Laura Linney were made from the first three Tales novels. The Night Listener became a feature film starring Robin Williams and Toni Collette. Maupin lives in San Francisco with his husband, Christopher Turner.
