His subject here, Malcolm Forbes, graduated from Princeton in 1941 and went on to assume the leadership of <i>Forbes</i> magazine (first established by his father, B. C. Forbes, in 1917) from 1964 until his death in 1990. Forbes was an avid collector of Fabergé eggs; specially shaped hot-air balloons, including one in the form of his château in France; and Harley-Davidson motorcycles. He is depicted here in his motorcycle suit, surrounded by motorcycle helmets, in a work that long hung in the lobby of the Forbes Building in Manhattan.\n</p>\n<p>\n\t<br />\n</p>","remarks":"Princeton Collects PUAM-LABELS_G32_6x10_Batch2_FNLvendor-Day 1 cataloguing "}],"media":[{"id":236739,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/CFA-2_ref","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":"Restricted Download - Under Copyright","caption":"Reference Image"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":null,"citation":null,"date":1980,"id":10018,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/en/title/5987080"},{"boilertext":"Paul Bowles and Hugo Valcarce. <i>Claudio Bravo: Paintings and Drawings</i>, New York: Abbeville Press, 1997.","citation":"Paul Bowles and Hugo Valcarce. <i>Claudio Bravo: Paintings and Drawings</i>, New York: Abbeville Press, 1997., no. 87","date":1997,"id":10019,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/en/title/37300876"},{"boilertext":null,"citation":null,"date":1992,"id":10020,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/en/title/60623861"},{"boilertext":null,"citation":null,"date":1980,"id":10021,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/en/title/1481856"},{"boilertext":"Grace Glueck, &quot;Capitaliste et fier de l’etre,”\n<i>Connaissance des arts</i>, no. 363 (May 1982): pp. 77-83.","citation":"Grace Glueck, &quot;Capitaliste et fier de l’etre,”\n<i>Connaissance des arts</i>, no. 363 (May 1982): pp. 77-83., p. 76 (illus.)","date":1982,"id":10022,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/en/title/6492703"},{"boilertext":null,"citation":null,"date":1980,"id":10023,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/en/title/865936641"}],"exhibitions":[],"geography":[],"terms":[{"id":2101703,"term":"motorcycles","aatid":300212789,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2055657,"term":"figures (representations)","aatid":300189808,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2052977,"term":"paintings","aatid":300033618,"termtype":"Classification"},{"id":2038530,"term":"Chilean","aatid":300107968,"termtype":"Culture"},{"id":2088270,"term":"men","aatid":300025928,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2053145,"term":"oil paintings","aatid":300033799,"termtype":"Classification"},{"id":2151023,"term":"sitting","aatid":null,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2055723,"term":"portraits","aatid":300015637,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2055723,"term":"portraits","aatid":300015637,"termtype":"Classification"},{"id":2130075,"term":"helmets","aatid":300036794,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2044653,"term":"canvas","aatid":300014078,"termtype":"Materials"},{"id":2167780,"term":"oil paint","aatid":300015050,"termtype":"Materials"}],"classifications":[{"id":2053145,"classification":"oil paintings"},{"id":2055723,"classification":"portraits"},{"id":2052977,"classification":"paintings"}],"cultures":[],"cultureterms":[{"id":2038530,"culture":"Chilean"}],"periods":[],"periodterms":[],"attribute_groups":[{"id":2199324,"term":"Art Since 1945","termtype":"Collecting Area"},{"id":2199332,"term":"Princeton Collects","termtype":"Archive | Collection"}],"dimensionelements":[{"element":"frame","type":"Height","units":"centimeters","dimension":"194.94"},{"element":"frame","type":"Width","units":"centimeters","dimension":"129.53"},{"element":"frame","type":"Depth","units":"centimeters","dimension":"6.34"},{"element":"Overall","type":"Height","units":"centimeters","dimension":"187.95"},{"element":"Overall","type":"Width","units":"centimeters","dimension":"121.91"}],"packages":[{"packageid":214385,"name":"web_Forbes"},{"packageid":264438,"name":"CFA-since-1-1-2024"},{"packageid":223482,"name":"Gallery_32(Pavilion9)-SpecX"},{"packageid":278831,"name":"10282025-DAY1-ONVIEW"}],"primaryimage":["https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/CFA-2_ref"],"displaymaker":"Claudio Bravo, 1936–2011; born Valparaíso, Chile; died Taroudant, Morocco; active Madrid, Spain and Tangier, Morocco","displayculture":null,"displayperiod":null,"caption":"Claudio Bravo (1936–2011; born Valparaíso, Chile; died Taroudant, Morocco; active Madrid, Spain and Tangier, Morocco), Portrait of Malcolm S.
