ANTHONY QUINN'S EYE: A Lifetime of Creating and Collecting Art

New Haven: W.W. Norton, 2004. Hardcover. "As a successful actor, Anthony Quinn could easily have lived a life of mindless pleasure. This lavish record of his artistic endeavors shows he did just the opposite. Compiled largely by his second wife, Katherine, who wrote the foreword and some of the photo captions, the book shows the extensive collections Quinn built up over the years and gives an excellent overview of his own artwork. He had carvings from South Asia, a large collection of painted and carved eggs, and assorted 'found' items such as giant old oxen yokes and interesting rocks or branches. Quinn was also a tireless painter and sculptor, constantly sketching while on sets or at home. Though Katherine was only with him toward the end of his career, she is clearly a knowledgeable guide to Quinn' s world, and her insights into how he saw things are revealing." Quarto: 224 p. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket - as new, still in the original shrink wrap. Fine / Fine. Item #75307
