The BEATLES JOHN LENNON LOOK 1967R 19x27 Richard Avedon Art LINEN BACKED

JOHN LENNON of The BEATLES. VERY GOOD Condition on LINEN BACKING.

(19 x 26.75 inches). Inspired by 1967 LOOK Magazine Story. A restored poster with bright color and clean appearance. Although backed on linen, no additional restoration has been applied. The linen backing was professionally done, and the poster displays very well.

The Beatles and their band manager Brian Epstein enlisted photographer Richard Avedon to help visualize the psychedelic foundations of their groundbreaking eighth studio album'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band', which debuted a few months before.

The Beatles were photographed by Richard Avedon, August 11, 1967. The shoot took place at a photographic studio in a penthouse in Thompson House, 200 Gray's Inn Road, London.

The American photographer took a number of shots of the group, four of which were later adorned with psychedelic effects. Through color manipulation, Avedon created hallucinatory, Day-Glo portraits of the Liverpool band brimming with symbolism of psychedelia, peace, and love-John Lennon gazes out through swirling glasses, Paul McCartney holds flowers, George Harrison is decorated with henna, and Ringo Starr carries a dove.

More than 30,000 un-restored original rare paper items. Over one thousand linen backed posters.
