His drawings of theater, opera, ballet and film celebrities appeared in \u003ci\u003eVariety, Backstage, The Philadelphia Enquirer, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e and many other publications. He is best-known for his long tenure providing theatrical illustrations for the \u003ci\u003eNew York Herald Tribune \u003c\/i\u003e(1940–1956) and covering performing arts for the \u003ci\u003eDaily News \u003c\/i\u003e(from the 1950's to the 1980's.) His highly engaging drawings have been said to \"metaphorically grab the reader-onlooker by the shoulders.\" Because Norkin would draw the performers in rehearsal, his caricatures often served as an effective advance press for shows as they went on the pre-Broadway circuit.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093578961055,"sku":"15272","price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Stravinsky_Norkin_15272_01.jpg?v=1722188957","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/15272-stravinsky-igor-norkin-sam-original-drawing-of-stravinsky","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
