Please send me a message if you would like a shipping quote to your address in the U.S. Tony Bennet, in addition to being a legendary musical artist, is also a serious and accomplished painter, having created works—under the name Anthony Benedetto—that are on permanent public display in several institutions. As a visual artist, he paints under his family name of Benedetto. The painter is an alter ego to the performer, living out a passion that is personal and introspective. Ever since Anthony Benedetto, at the age of five, began drawing chalk pictures on the sidewalks of his hometown in Astoria, Queens he has had a commitment to art that has flourished. With his standing over five decades as one of the premier entertainers in the world, he finds time to paint every day, sketching the view from the windows of his hotel suite or out in the countrysides to which he travels. The United Nations has commissioned his artwork on two occasions including their 50th Anniversary ("Peace", "Brotherhood"(purchased by Oprah Winfrey for her personal collection)). Bennett's painting honoring good friend David Hockney, "Homage to Hockney," is on permanent display at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio and his original oil painting, "Boy on Sailboat, Sydney Bay," is part of the permanent collection at the prestigious National Arts Club in Gramercy Park in Manhattan. Bennett was recently commissioned to be the official artist of the 2001 Kentucky Derby and created two original watercolors for this historic racing event. ( "Kickin' Up Dirt 1", "Kickin' Up Dirt 2 ") Tony Bennett began formal training as an art student at the School of Industrial Arts (now known as the School of Art and Design) in Manhattan and continued his studies with private studios and teachers throughout the years. A self-proclaimed "museum freak," he visits museums and galleries all over the world, especially during his extensive concert tours. As an artist of both worldly and familiar subjects, Tony Bennett has experimented with a wide range of subjects, has studied the intricacies of various styles, and has learned from the great masters. His body of work reflects an awareness of the history of art and the artist's continuing passion for enjoying and creating that which is universally recognized as beautiful. Common to all his work, be it the oils, watercolors or sketches, is his desire to communicate. His work as a painter has been featured in several art publications including a cover story in ART AND ANTIQUES, ARTNEWS, INFORMART, and THE ARTIST'S MAGAZINE, as well as an upcoming issue of INTERNATIONAL ARTIST magazine. Among the many owners of original Benedettos' around the world are the late Cary Grant, Carol Burnett, Whoopie Goldberg, the late Frank Sinatra, Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Mickey Rooney, Katie Couric and contemporary artist Robert Rauschenberg. Seven of Bennett's paintings have been published as museum-quality limited edition, fine-art original lithographs including, "South of France," "Greek Port," "Sunday in Central Park", "Monet's Garden", "Wolf Trap", "Lovers in Monet's Gardens," and "Golden Pavilion.”
