Lennon’s artwork predated his success with the Beatles and remained a passion throughout his years as a music legend. While music will be remembered as his most popular art form, art on paper was his first love. He loved both his literature and his art, studying at Liverpool Art Institute from I957 – I960. During his lifetime, he produced numerous series of sketches and lithographs, which were first published starting in the early 1960s. Often surreal and composed through a method of free association, his drawings from this period were widely considered some of the finest interpretive artworks of the era.
