JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — An Atlantic Boulevard gallery will present the art of legendary Beatles member John Lennon from Jan. 12-22.
Gallery 725 will host “Give Peace a Chance – The Art of John Lennon” a newly curated exhibition where artwork will be available for purchase. There are special receptions scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 13 from 5-8 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 14 from 1-3 p.m.
“In 1969, Lennon began exhibiting selected drawings from a series entitled Bag One. This array, now part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, was wildly popular and frequently censored due to its overt eroticism,” a release from organizers said. “His peace-themed sketches were elevated through their use in antiwar movements, beginning in the 1970s and continuing to the present day.
To request a catalog of available works or RSVP to the opening receptions, contact the gallery at 904-345-9320 or email gallery725@gmail.com.
