Portrait of John Lennon

This portrait was taken on the roof of what was then Apple Corps’ Savile Row office, circa 1969-1970, the very same rooftop where the Beatles held their famous concert. Lennon asked David Nutter to take this portrait for the cover of a proposed book launch – a poetry book that would be the sequel to In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works. The book was never completed but Nutter kept this image, in which he had deliberately elongated John’s face “to make him look more like Jesus”.

16X20 silver gelatine print. Limited run of 25 images signed by the artist. Images are available unframed or framed and mounted. Delivery in 4 weeks of ordering.
