While picking up your Mayfair Steamer Chest made of vintage cigar leather at Restoration Hardware, or for that matter your Beatles Box of Vision, available for $399 at the store at Pacific Place Mall, you can also go upstairs to a temporary gallery and get some erotic artworks* or Hand-Written** Lyric Sheets by John Lennon.
*The term “artwork” is here applied loosely to images on paper, many of which are basically posters signed by Yoko Ono.
**The term “Hand-Written” means hand-written before it was copied onto the piece of paper you’d be buying.
Here are a couple of samples of the erotica, inspired by the occasion of the Lennon-Ono marriage/honeymoon.
They are confusing, terrible, and extremely unhot. Here is a third one that beats the other two on all three counts. Are those Fraggles?
The show is September 25-27 (10 am-9 pm Fri-Sat, 11 am-6 pm Sun) on the third floor of Pacific Place Mall.
Basically caveman oral sex
John Lennon may have been a brilliant musician, but a sketch artist he was not.
I am fairly certain they are Sasquatches (Sasquatcha? Sasquatcheum?)
It’s unfortunate that Jen Graves (the supposed writer) didn’t do her homework before she wrote this ridiculous snippet. The Erotic drawings that she refers to are part of a very historic portfolio of John’s work entitled “Bag One”. A complete set of those lithographs now reside in the Museum Of Modern Art in New York. The other lithographs in the series depict the marriage ceremony, and the Bed-In for Peace. Each lithograph is hand-signed by John. There are no posters in the exhibit. Each artwork, including the song lyrics, are completed by hand in a process called serigraphy
Historic or not, the drawings look like they came from a bored Highschoolers notebook. Superbad!
You might want to view the entire exhibit before you pass judgement. I’ve seen it and it’s incredible.
