In this beautiful memoir, richly illustrated with his own artwork, Tony Bennett reflects on his career and the inspiration that continues to infuse both his music and his art. In sections that parallel the phases of his life, he explores the recurring themes of individualism, love, truth, beauty, and chiaroscuro — the balance of light and shadow, both in painting and in life. As a singer, Tony Bennett needs no introduction. What many of his admirers may not know, however, is that he is also a successful painter whose works hang in major museums and galleries around the world under his given name, Anthony Benedetto. Reproductions of personal memorabilia, album covers, and notes are scattered throughout the book. It also contains a limited edition CD of "artful songs" selected and performed by the artist.
