John Lennon Art

British, 1940-1980

John Lennon was a contemporary musician, songwriter, poet, philosopher and artist whose message across all professions was peace and harmony.

Long before he was a celebrated musician with the Beatles, Lennon was studying his first love at the esteemed Liverpool Art Institute. He focused on line drawing, using sumi ink or a pen to create beautiful line illustrations.

Lennon illustrated his three best-selling books that were published in the 1960s. Today his whimsical expressions of humanity are enjoyed by many critics and collectors alike as they are on display in institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Art was another way for Lennon to express the wit, wisdom and whimsy that made him one of the most important cultural figures of our time. As he once said, "If art were to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness."

Grand Prix De Rome Submission Circa 1906 Académie D’Homme Nude With Arrow

Located in Sutton Poyntz, Dorset

A Grand Prix De Rome Submission Circa 1906. “Académie D’Homme” Nude Throwing An Arrow. Period Print (Lithograph or Heliogravure). Image size 19 inches x 12.2 inches ( 48cm x 31cm ). Frame size 22 inches x 15.4 inches ( 56cm x 39cm ). Available for sale; this antique reproductive plate (usually a lithograph or heliogravure) after the original competition drawing is annotated Premier Grand Prix De Rome and is dated in the margin 1906. The print is presented and supplied in a sympathetic contemporary wooden frame (which is shown in these photographs) and behind glass. This antique print is in good material condition with age toning to the paper along with a scattering of aged blemishes. It is supplied ready to hang and display. The print carries a dedication lower right in the margin. An incomplete (partial) ink stamp in the lower left hand corner makes reference to an Anvers (Antwerp) institution. This finely executed early 20th-century figure print of a drawing is of the Académie d’Homme genre (traditional academic nude study). It depicts a nude male figure in dynamic contrapposto, shown mid-action as he prepares to throw an arrow. The pose combines classical balance with controlled movement, reflecting the rigorous standards of French academic training at the turn of the century. The image is a period print, likely produced as a lithograph or heliogravure, after an original competition drawing. It is annotated “Premier Grand Prix de Rome” and dated 1906 in the margin, indicating that the original of this work was a submission to the prestigious Prix de Rome competition, the highest accolade for academic artists in France. Such works were commonly reproduced for study, reference and institutional circulation and it is likely that this reproduction was made in the same year, or shortly afterwards. Rendered with careful anatomical precision, the figure demonstrates a deep understanding of musculature, proportion and weight distribution, hallmarks of École des Beaux-Arts instruction. The neutral background focuses attention entirely on the human form, emphasising clarity of line and sculptural modelling. This circa 1906 academic male nude print...

    What Yoko Ono's art is called varies, as she has worked in several types of media. During the 1960s, Ono largely produced performance art. During that period, she was part of the Fluxus art movement, whose proponents sought to challenge the traditional definition of art and expand it to include concerts, performances, scores and happenings. In addition, she has created conceptual art, in which artists are less focused on a medium being something traditionally “artistic” and instead engage in using any object, movement, form, action or place to express an idea. Some of Ono's most famous works include Painting to Be Stepped On, Grapefruit, Ceiling Painting/Yes Painting, My Mommy Is Beautiful, Painting to Hammer a Nail and Play it by Trust. On 1stDibs, shop a range of photography and objects featuring Yoko Ono.
