Michael Lindsay-Hogg is best known as a distinguished director, the man behind cultural touchstones such as the Beatles documentary Let It Be (1970) and the 1981 television series Brideshead Revisited. But he’s been drawing since he was a child and painting for the past 25 years. In Paris, Galerie Pixi is presenting 250 small portraits that Lindsay-Hogg made during the pandemic. Each one depicts a character he’s invented—a busty Italian mother of three, for instance, or a large cigarette-smoking East London man. Biographical details and personality quirks are scribbled around their heads. It’s Lindsay-Hogg’s personal Who’s Who. —Jensen Davis
