A musician, song writer, poet, artist, philosopher — not
from 2,000 years ago but of and for our generation. The art forms
that he worked with were vehicles for his message — human
love and communication!
Art was actually Lennon's first love. He began drawing long before
he had a guitar. He attended the prestigious Liverpool Art Institute
for three years (1957-1960) before the Beatles became a full-time
occupation. He continued to draw throughout his life. Johns primary
medium was line drawing either in pen, pencil, or Japanese sumi
ink. His drawings became illustrations for three best selling books
that he wrote in the 60's. In addition, a complete suite of the
"Bag One" portfolio of lithographs is in the permanent
collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His original
drawings are also being collected by museums throughout the world.
At the time of his death John had saved and preserved several hundred
drawings that he considered important. His drawings are whimsical
yet poetic and are a commentary on his everyday life, his wife Yoko
and their son.
John Lennon, a loving husband... a dad... a renaissance man...
