swerte gaming William J. Hennessy Jr., Sketch Artist of Courtroom Drama, Dies at 67
William J. Hennessy Jr., a prominent courtroom artist whose sketches documented important chapters in historyswerte gaming, including the impeachment trials of Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald J. Trump and the Supreme Court case that decided the 2000 presidential election, as well as thousands of scenes of quotidian courtroom drama, died in Key West, Fla., on Dec. 9, his 67th birthday.
His son William J. Hennessy III said he died in a hospital after having a heart attack in a hotel room while on vacation with his wife, Arezou.
Using colored pencils, pastels, charcoal and watercolors, Mr. Hennessy produced some 10,000 pictures from federal, state and local courtrooms, and from the chamber of the United States Senate. His analog artistry, usually commissioned by news organizations, filled a void in courts where cameras were not allowed or were restricted.
“Ideally my clients would have a camera in there, in their mind,” Mr. Hennessy said in an interview with “PBS NewsHour” in 2009. “I don’t necessarily agree, but I do understand what they want from me, and so I provide them with the visuals they need to tell the story, and not just the visuals that you expect, but I try to delve deeper.”
Art Lien, a retired sketch artist and a friendly competitor of Mr. Hennessy’s at the Supreme Court, said that Mr. Hennessy, “had a much better nose for news than I did and probably did twice as many sketches as I did.” He added, “He’d catch everything.”
