For over seventeen years, Paul McCartney has been a committed painter, discovering in paint on canvas another expression beyond his music that has made him such a beloved artist worldwide. His painting, like much of his life, has been a very private endeavor. He exhibited the work for the first time in a small museum in Germany, where it met with critical acclaim. In Paul McCartney: Paintings he shares this work for all to enjoy. His is a world full of faces: from the many lovely abstract portraits of Linda to irreverent, affectionate portraits of the Queen, and the playful, Warhol-like portrait of himself as an Elvis clone ("Elvish Me").

This positive mood is shaded by intriguing, darker masks and portraits, and also abstract landscapes redolent with a sense of place. He sculpts and carves the paint upon the canvas, working with a physical pleasure and immersion influenced by his friend, Willem de Kooning. Light wear to the boards. Few dings to the bottom edges. Little soiling to the bottom edge. Internally, clean, bright and tight. The dust jacket has light wear. COA is laid and in great condition.
