Lennon, John, - Autographs, manuscripts, certificates

engl. Musiker,1940 - 1980. E. Ansichtskarte (View of Karuizawa) m. U. und Zeichnung (Selbstporträt), New York, 3. 5. 1980 (Poststempel), Adresse montiert.

An eine junge Kanadierin die Lennon in Gedichtform vorgeworfen hatte in seinem New Yorker Domizil gezähmt worden zu sein:"Dear Poetess - consecrate is not domesticate cheers J Lennon". Adressiert ist die Karte an "Teenage Poet", darunter aus dem Kuvert der Schreiberin ausgerissene Absenderadresse montiert. Die Karte zeigt einen Waldboden in Karuizawa (Nagano, Japan), wo John Lennon gemeinsam mit Yoko Ono und Sohn Sean die letzten vier Sommer seines Lebens verbrachte. Die hier vorliegende Karte aus dem Todesjahr Lennons muss als pointiertes Statement zu seinem Verhältnis zu seiner Frau Yoko Ono bezeichnet werden.

A postcard (View of Karuizawa), signed and illustrated (self portrait) in black ink and franked in New York, 3 April 1980. The addressee is a young Canadian who had previously reproached the artist in a poem with having become quite domesticated in his New York home. The inscription reads: "Dear poetess- consecrate is not domesticate cheers J. Lennon". The recipient is specified as "teenage poet", with the return address torn from the envelope of the original sender pasted beneath. On the front, the card shows a forest scene in Karuizawa (Nagano, Japan), the place where John Lennon, Yoko Ono and son Sean spent their final summers together before Lennon's death in 1980. The postcard at hand delicately expresses the artist's view on his relationship with Yoko Ono in the very last year before he died.
