John Lennon, When I Grow Up, Original

Bernie Taupin
2 Sides of The 60s, John Lennon, When I Grow Up, 2014.
Original mixed media on canvas wrapped on board.
Hand-signed at the lower margin.
This artwork is framed and wall-ready.

Lennon belts out a note during the rehearsal for a TV special at Wembley Studios in April 1964. Looking especially boyish in his glasses and sweater vest, Lennon’s image is paired with notes written from his younger self’s perspective, which express his dream of becoming a famous musician when he grows up. The piece is particularly poignant when considering how famous Lennon went on to become and how this later led to his murder.

Bernie Taupin – Off The Wall Gallery, Houston, Texas.
