Elvis Presley 1969 "Backstage Las Vegas"

The pure adrenaline of August 17, 1969. This portrait plunges us behind the scenes of the International Hotel, which became one of his historic residences. The graphite pencil, with its surgical precision, captures the intensity of this moment. Without the artifice of color, the graphite line goes to the essential: the tension of the features, the fatigue of the performance, and the artist's unwavering passion.
