Description

JOHN LENNON (1940-1980). CROQUIS RECTO-VERSO. Deux étonnantes esquisses au crayon de part et d'autre d'une page d'un carnet de croquis, exécutées par John Lennon pendant sa première année à l'école d'art de Liverpool, comprenant un mince percussionniste au pied en forme de pelle et, au verso, divers musiciens aux yeux multiples et aux membres étranges jouant de différents instruments. Les images sont assez surréalistes et expriment la personnalité rebelle de Lennon pendant son court séjour à l'école. Avec quelques pliures et déchirures qui ont été bien recollées. Pièce très rare. 24 x 15,5 cm
