Ticket to the World: My new music memoir behind-the-scenes of Spandau Ballet and the 80s

Product Information

Kemp has written many books about Leonardo da Vinci, his first of which, Leonardo da Vinci. The Marvellous Works of Nature and Man in 1981, won the Mitchell Prize in art history for best first book. [13] He has published on imagery in the sciences of anatomy, natural history and optics, including The Science of Art: Optical Themes in Western Art from Brunelleschi to Seurat ( Yale University Press). The art theorist and psychologist Rudolf Arnheim said that The Science of Art "may deserve to be called the definitive treatise on its topic" though its detail may make it difficult reading for non-specialists. [14] Please note that Professor Kemp is no longer supervising graduate students, nor is he able to sponsor academic visitors to Oxford. Now that he is mostly playing himself – in books, and in all those reality-TV shows and presenting roles – he feels much better about being recognised. With the band he used to feel he was “never putting enough of me into it”. “Now it’s different,” he says. “Someone sees me and waves, that’s great. Am I coming into my own? I think I’m a lot more relaxed about life.” – Guardian Riding, Alan (5 October 2006). "Leonardo: A master of lateral thinking – Arts & Leisure – International Herald Tribune". New York Times .

There was verbal abuse, too. “If you imagine five boys in the playground, there’s always going to be one guy that’s going to take the brunt of the jokes.” In Spandau Ballet, Kemp says, that guy was the lead singer, Tony Hadley.

He used to paint beautiful pictures.” Mostly in oil crayons; Kemp has some on his walls. “But he worked in a factory. And I think in another life my dad would have been an artist. And he knew that he wanted to give me and Gary that chance.”After Martin Kemp had two brain tumours removed, people kept teasing him. “A few of my friends said, ‘I don’t know what they’ve done, but they’ve put something in instead of taking something out. They’ve put intelligence in, Mart.’” He’s laughing. “Making light of it,” he says. “But all I mean is: we all learn at different parts of our lives.”

I think it was really poor.” Oh, it was “the most disappointing thing!” Kemp says. “I wanted my dad to say: ‘You can’t go out like that!’” But he never did. “Not once.” Spandau Ballet at Live Aid in 1985 … (from left) Martin Kemp, Gary Kemp and Tony Hadley.

No wonder that in 1998 when he was offered the part of Steve Owen in EastEnders, he jumped at it. a b c d e Honigman, Ana Finel. "Universal Leonardo". artnet. Artnet Worldwide Corporation .
