Tony Bennett in the studio : a life of art and music by
Robert Sullivan(
Book
)
7 editions published in 2007 in English and held by 489 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Tony Bennett has a talent that's simply timeless. He's the smooth and subtle singer of the classic American songbook, the recipient of countless awards and nominations, and the idol of contemporary singers. What many of his admirers may not know, however, is that under the name of Anthony Benedetto, he is also a successful painter whose works hang in major museums and galleries, including the Smithsonian. Now, in a book richly illustrated with his own artwork, Tony takes the time to reflect on his career, and the inspiration that continues to infuse both his music and his art. Along with journalist Robert Sullivan, he explores recurring themes in his life, including jazz, individualism, the creative zone, love, truth and beauty, chiaroscuro (the balance of light and shadow, both in painting and life), and the lifelong adventure that has taken him around the world and back again.--From publisher description

Robert Sullivan(
Book
)
1 edition published in 1999 in English and held by 239 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Enter Robert Sullivan, who first rose to international prominence with his breakthrough research on Santa Claus. In Atlantis Rising, Sullivan reveals evidence even more startling than that contained in his myth-shattering Flight of the Reindeer: The True Story of Santa Claus and His Christmas Mission. Set upon his Atlantean quest by Amos S. Eno, executive director of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and lured further and further on by the mysterious oceanographer who calls himself "Atwater," Sullivan is able to separate historical truth from mere legend, fact from fiction, science from silliness. Delving into the historical record, then into secret files that have long been under lock and key at the famous Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, he discovers rare transcripts, documents, maps and, incredibly, photographs. They are all here in Atlantis Rising, along with dozens of paintings by the renowned natural-history artist Glenn Wolff. It adds up to an astonishing tale and a powerful moral
