John Lennon
John Lennon ........was a renaissance man whose insights and perspective helped shape the sensibility of the contemporary mind. While music will be remembered as his most popular art form, he loved both his literature and his visual sides just as much. John originally studied to be an artist and attended Liverpool Art Institute from 1957-1960. We hope you will enjoy the great artwork we have here and notice the whimsical yet poetic, loving portrait of one of the most important cultural figures of our time.

Freda
Peeple, 1971
John incorporates his musical genius into a visual art form. The musical scale is composed of human notes! The melody is created by their position on the staff. The British 'pound note' on the side of the scale calls to mind Lennon's incredible sense of humor and play on words. Unframed |

It's
Only Rock N' Roll,
1974 John's salute to the medium which made him famous and a personal tribute to two greats; Elvis Presley and Elton John. He draws Elvis as an aging, overweight superstar, who is still able to bring his fans to a frenzy. There is a dedication within the drawing to Elton John; the guitar is Benny and the audience is the Jets. |

Brother, 1979

Syracuse
Art Exhibit "This Is Not Here" This is the original program from The EVERSON ART MUSEUM of Syracuse, New York for an exhibition by Yoko Ono with guest artist JOHN LENNON. Dated October 9th (John's Birthday) - October 27th, 1971. Printed in newspaper format, this is 12 pages long and is full of Lennon drawings, quotes and funny comments. In mint condition, you will love every page of this unusual glimpse into one of the great minds of our time. Included is the front page which is actually the poster for the "THIS IS NOT HERE" exhibition. This poster is quite unique in the fact that the letters for This Is Not Here are made from photos of John and Yoko's faces. The same Art Show poster is displayed on the wall of the Hard Rock Cafe in Boston and Orlando. This whole piece was created for an art display at the Syracuse Museum of Art. It contains some very interesting items such as art related articles, cartoons and pictures all in black & white. |
