The Haunting by Julie Harris
I always thought I would get into painting, but I got waylaid by rock 'n' roll. Finally, I thought, 'Now's the time.' As soon as I could be alone and paint without any interruptions, I just couldn't stop. - Chrissie Hynde These paintings wake me up, show me life, make me want to get up and do something. - Brian Eno The fact that Chrissie is a great musician doesn't undermine her painting; it underpins it. - Tim Marlow In 2015, Chrissie Hynde, the singer, songwriter and leader of The Pretenders, produced an oil painting of a ceramic vase. It proved to be the starting point for Chrissie Hynde's first body of work, nearly 200 canvases in all. These paintings are now shared for the very first time in Adding The Blue. Beginning with still life studies and culminating in vibrant abstract compositions, Adding The Blue is a beautiful book of paintings that reveals Chrissie Hynde as an artist as passionate about her painting as her music. With forewords by visionary musician and artist, Brian Eno, and The Royal Academy's Artistic Director, Tim Marlow, Adding The Blue is captioned throughout with Chrissie Hynde's thoughts, anecdotes and reflections. Published in hardback the front cover features the work, 'Tuesday Self-Portrait'
