The Russian-Polish-American illustrator George 'Georges' Krishizki came to the U.S. in 1949; his on-the-spot drawings of musicians in performance attracted an appreciative audience. In a 1973 article published in conjunction with two simultaneous exhibitions, the artist explained the genesis of his long-running engagement with the concert hall: "I've always enjoyed going to concerts, and one day I decided it would be fun to combine my interests in music and art and make sketches of musicians during performances."
