More on this work
The work was originally shot in black and white then enlarged via a Kodalith process and made through a dotted screen process. The negatives were then cut exactly in half, using as a reference the tip of the nose and the center of the eyes. After that, he took the one half left of the cut negative and flipped it so it became a right side of a face made from the same very left.
Natalici best sums up the final rendering as a result that was, "truly astonishing, a face that looked so perfect with all facial details such as, birth marks, freckles, facial hair, scars, etc., that it acquired an extraterrestrial-type clone look."

- John Lennon photograph by Leni Sinclair (John & Yoko)By Leni SinclairLocated in NEW YORK, NYLeni Sinclair John Lennon & Yoko Ono photograph Detroit, 1972: Photographed by legendary Detroit photographer Leni Sinclair, 2016's Kresge Foundation's Eminent Artist of the year (See The Guardian UK Photo Section, Jan. 28, 2016). Archival Inkjet Print. 11x14 inches. Hand signed, titled & dated in ink on the lower margins. Very good overall condition. Obtained directly from artist. Dealer is a primary representative of Leni Sinclair. About Leni Sinclair: A recognized leader of the 1960s-70s counter cultural movement in Detroit and a trusted documenter of the rock n’ roll scene of that same era, Leni Sinclair is known for her vivid photographs which captured faithfully the raw drama that unfolded before her lens. But she may be best known for capturing the raucous rock n’ roll scene of that era, including photographs of such rock legends as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, and jazz icons such as Miles Davis and Sun Ra. Focusing her lens on musicians and fellow activists from nightclubs to festivals to street demonstrations, Sinclair captured a pivotal era in American history when art and politics intertwined. Some of her photos – including shots of jazz saxophonist John Coltrane and of Nigeria’s rebel music star Fela Kuti – are among the most widely known of their subjects. What seems, at first glance, to be candid scenes featuring musicians, activists, party goers and demonstrators, read together as a more powerful story: that of an American society where art and politics were inextricably intertwined. Of recent notoriety Sinclair was exhibited at Detroit’s MOCAD (Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit) as part of her first major U.S. solo museum exhibition, “Moto City Underground”. The 80-year-old artist, author and social justice organizer still lives in Detroit, where she married politically active poet and jazz critic John Sinclair...Category
