Ronnie Wood is one of the top guitarists in rock music, but his artistic talent extends beyond music. Throughout his unmatched music career, Ronnie never lost his passion for painting, drawing, and sculpture. The book Ronnie Wood: Artist is the first comprehensive collection of his paintings and other works, created to celebrate his seventieth birthday. The intense volume gathers the results of a lifetime of art, filled with six decades of memorable and diverse works, from his art school's portfolio to his most personal moments today.
Inside, a generous selection of his works related to the Rolling Stones, including rare watercolors of Mick, Keith, and Charlie backstage, meet acrylic works of his contemporaries, Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, and Keith Moon. Portraits of jazz innovators like Count Basie, Miles Davis, and Billie Holiday combine with blues heroes like Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Big Bill Broonzy. Drawings of Hollywood's elite – Paul Newman, James Dean, and Marilyn Monroe – contrast with real fashion sketches of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, as well as exquisite pastel compositions from his residence in the Royal Ballet.
The artist himself offers the titles and thoughts behind each work. With an introduction by Emmanuel Guigon (director of Museu Picasso, Barcelona) and an afterword by Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood: Artist is where fine art and rock 'n' roll collide. This extensive and eclectic collection offers unique insights into the entire world of Ronnie Wood and, with nearly 400 works, is a fitting testament to the artistic diversity and ambition of rock 'n' roll's most successful artist.
