John Lennon is most widely remembered for his work with a guitar as a member of the Beatles. "Come Together," an upcoming exhibit July 31-Aug. 2 at Camp Rehoboth, will showcase Lennon's work in the art world through a series of prints, lithographs and sketches.
Lennon - who attended three years at the Liverpool Arts School - was actually an artist before he was a Beatle. More than 100 works will be on display, serigraphs, lithographs, copper etchings and aqua tints of Lennon’s drawings, signed by Yoko Ono including the “Real Love” children’s drawings sketched for his son Sean during the last few years of his life.
The exhibit will also include signed lithographs from the "Bag One" series, created in 1970, which stirred up some controversy due to several nude sketches entitled "Erotic #'s 1-8." The lithographs were selected by Lennon and originally given to his wife, Yoko Ono, as a wedding gift in 1969. Several are on display in New York's Museum of Modern Art.
The exhibition, held July 31 to Aug. 2 at Camp Rehoboth, 37 Baltimore Ave., will also serve as a fundraiser for the nonprofity community service organization, with $2 suggested donations at the door.
"Come Together" is touring the U.S., and several pieces are available for sale to the public.
