Paul McCartney: Paintings

Paul McCartney: Paintings by Paul McCartney. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780821226735.

Since 1982 Paul McCartney has found in his work on canvas both a respite from the world and another outlet for his creativity. Last year he exhibited his work for the first time in Siegen, Germany. Now, in Paul McCartney: Paintings, he shares this work with a larger audience. Full of intense colour, these paintings reveal McCartneys positive spirit as well as a visual sophistication influenced by his friendship with Willem de Kooning. Beautifully designed and produced, the portfolio of paintings is accompanied by candid photos by Linda McCartney, a collection of critical texts, and a lengthy interview with Paul McCartney. The paintings featured in this book have never before been published in the trade. Many of Linda McCartneys accompanying photographs have never before been published either. The extensive text provides insight into McCartneys vision as an artist and musician.
