Happy 67 Years To Lennon-mccartney! Did A Redraw Of The Hug From Nowhere Boy With The Wonderful @r3c04d

Photo-realistic oil paintings by Klaus Voormann, depicting the years he spent with The Beatles in Hamburg, from 1960 to 1962.

Klaus was part of a group of The Beatles’ friends in Hamburg. His “memory drawings” of our Hamburg days are not only beautiful drawings in themselves, but capture the spirit of the times.

[I am endlessly fascinated by illustrative records made by people that were actually there. Like Paul said, these seem to capture the spirit and the ambience of the moment, with an emotional acuity that photographs normally lack, limited to an instant as they are. Klaus Voormann is a blessing in the sense that he allows us a peek behind the curtains, placing us there with him in the scene, in a way that little else can. I wanted to gather all these pieces in one place, despite having seen some of them floating around. My sincere thanks to those who brought them to my attention in the first place.]
