“I did it. And I did it my way. I said all I had to say. If you don’t understand it, too bad.”
— Rita Asfour, 2017 PBS Documentary
Rita Asfour
Impressionist
From Beirut to Beverly Hills to Las Vegas, Rita Asfour’s seven-decade career captured the beauty of the world through her impressionistic eye.
Her final series, the Ethereal Showgirls, brought together a lifetime of artistic mastery to celebrate the pageantry of the Las Vegas showgirl tradition. This led to a major exhibition at the University of Nevada and a PBS documentary.
