Don Bachardy is an American portraitist whose career was established in the 1960s. Trained at the Chouinard Art Institute and the Slade School of Art, he became known for pencil portraits and paintings that earned him regular exhibitions in galleries across the United States and the United Kingdom, and placement in the permanent collections of institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Huntington Library, the Fogg Museum, and the National Portrait Gallery in London.
His personal life, defined by a long partnership with writer Christopher Isherwood (1953–1986), brought him into Hollywood’s cultural circle and the literary scene, attracting figures such as Rock Hudson and Tennessee Williams to his social circle in Santa Monica. That relationship also produced joint literary and artistic works, including collaborations and drawings that documented Isherwood’s final years.
Among his best-known works is the official portrait of Governor Jerry Brown, on display in the California State Capitol. He published several books of drawings and portraits, and his work has been the subject of films and retrospectives, securing his reputation as one of the leading American portraitists of the postwar era.
