went back to kck to visit the fam last weekend, which was stressful and depressing. everyone in kansas is married or pregnant.did see a traveling exhibit of john lennon's drawings at the old ritz on the plaza. i didn't really know much about lennon as an artist before the show, but i liked what i saw. you could really see his style change and the subject matter shift as he grew older.
i especially liked the series on animals that he did for his son to teach him about the world.
Also, they had blown up some old clippings of news articles about a police raid on one of his shows in london for violating obscenity laws, for such works as this
in defense, lennon's lawyers compared his drawings to the erotic nature of picasso's 'the embrace.'
not sure if they meant this
or this
cool, anyway.
