JAMES TUNNEY - WRITER, PAINTER & SPEAKER
Portraits
I take a great interest in the figure in art and below are different portraits I have made of known figures in history and a few are the result of sittings or meetings where I have painted or sketched for the portrait. Auerbach and Scully are two of the world's greatest painters. Senator Norris and Galloway are two interesting politicians.
​
Repainting or reinterpreting Rembrandt's self portraits for example makes you ask questions about his choices. For example, I am quite sure that the extremely cold weather of the time is a key to the mystery of some of his work. William Blake was a great painter, poet and mystic.
