Catalogue information
John Lennon was not only a brilliant musician and the creative driving force at the head of the Fab Four, he was also a versatile artist who wrote short stories and lyrics, created drawings and photos, and staged provocative performances and happenings. Although he studied at the Liverpool Art Institute from 1957 to 1960, it was his music that gave him international acclaim in the 1960s. This edition, in German, presents the other, previously unknown side of Lennon's creative output. John's widow, Yoko Ono, with whom he collaborated artistically after the Beatles' break-up in the 1970s and who has acted as the guardian of his heritage since his death in 1980, has decided to contribute to this publication. It reproduces, in many cases for the first time, his drawings and lithographs (including erotic works from the 'Bag One' portfolio that was seized by the police at its premiere in 1970), his personal Japanese, ' dictionary 'his photos, his lyrics (texts, prose, songs), his record sleeve designs, first editions of his books and documentation material on his performances. The book vividly reminds John Lennon as a visual artist.
