(Gibson) Drawings, sketches and poetry by Beatles legend John Lennon are being displayed in Gimme Some Truth — The Artwork of John Lennon, at Palmer Square in Princeton, New Jersey, September 16-18. Proceeds from the show will go towards the Mercer St. Friends Food Bank.Lennon's wife Yoko Ono has a big hand in the exhibit: "It was great that he had this talent of doing artwork because when we were in a conference with all the lawyers, and maybe 20 lawyers together, it's so boring," she told the East Windsor Patch. "And he would just start to do drawing. He would never sort of waste any time, he was like that."
She added that art was a way for Lennon to express his happier side: "In music, I think it was easy [for him] to vent his anger as well," she said. "But how are you going to [share] anger in drawing? Well of course some people do, I know that, but he just didn't do that. He was feeling good about things." more on this story
