Singer, actor, director, philanthropist — Frank Sinatra did it all, his way. With a career spanning 60 years, the crooner is known worldwide for his swoon-worthy renditions of jazz standards, his roles in classic Hollywood films like Guys and Dolls, and his magnetic personality, he was also a gifted painter. It was one of his favorite hobbies, and his work was often inspired by mid-20th century abstract artists like Jackson Pollock and Frank Stella. Painting held an important personal significance for the singer, and he produced works for over 50 years with as much vigor and confidence as he displayed in his iconic performances. He had a lovely, light filled studio in his home, with windows gazing out at the tops of palm trees. A picture of the studio is printed on the cover of the book A Man and His Art: Frank Sinatra, published in 1991, nine years before Sinatra died.
