peace and love
Peace and Love are two themes at the heart of John Lennon’s songwriting and art. John’s drawings are a whimsical, intimate diary of his life with Yoko, at times humorous and deeply moving depictions of their love and life together. In some of these artworks John challenges to become participants in his campaign for peace.
