yeah. those looked like the nurse paintings...

I still dig those paintings...
anybody know why McCartney did it? or just because he likes them?

Paul is a painter. Most of his works are abstract expressionist in style.

cover of his art book published in 2000


" I don't think there is any great heroic act in going in slavishly every day and saying, "I must do this." So what I find is that I do it when I am inspired. And that's how I can combine it with music. Some days the inspiration is a musical one and other days it has just got to be painting."
— Paul McCartney

^^thanks for the info. never knew that bout paul, pretty interesting

All Richard Prince's nurse series are painted over paperback novel covers, featuring a nurse on them (In some, the author's name and original titles are visible through the paint). See the link?

does he enlarge the paperback covers and then paint them?

i saw this show when it was in NYC... the paintings were huge... 6? 8? 10? feet tall.

I figured they were giant. is there ay place we can see a before/after on Prince's paintings?
