Lennon Legacy

I

n his memorable lyrics from "In My Life," John
Lennon expresses his affection for lovers and
friends who crossed his path. Years after his
death in 1980, we enjoy an ongoing love affair
\ vith the artistic genius whose music, poetry, drawings
and insights helped shape a generation.
Lennon would have been 60 years old on Oct. 9.
To celebrate, cities throughout the world will be host-
ing an exhibit of his artwork.
"People love John's art when they see it," says the
event's executive producer Larry Schwartz, a for-
mer Oak Park resident and
1969 Berkley High School
graduate. Titled "In My Life:
The Artwork of John
Lennon," the exhibit is

have been warmly received
there," notes Schwartz, who
has collaborated with Ono
for almost 15 years.
"The show is more than just an
art exhibit," says Schwartz, "because it appeals to such a
broad audience. Many of these people are not art collec-
tors or patrons, but rather everyday people who lived
through the '60s and '70s and have a very strong attach-
ment to the events that took place during those years.
"We are very excited about 'Real Love.' The art
depicts John's private side about which very little has
been written. He used his art to express his innermost
feelings about love, and his devotion to family."
The Royal Oak show also will include other original
drawings, some very rare, including the controversial
erotic works seized in 1970 from the original "Bag-
One" suite signed by John. In addition, rare estate
pieces signed by Yoko, rare photos and song lyric man-
uscripts by John will be available for purchase.
