Description
Feb 9, 1964 :
"These youngsters from Liverpool who call themselves 'The Beatles'" ( - - Ed Sullivan)
were beamed into the American public's psyche on that Sunday night. The band's performance surpassed their hype.
Electric guitars;
American rock & roll;
British accents;
Cuban heels;
Beatle boots;
Mop tops;
Piercing screams;
Mania reigned.
I tried to transfer that electricity to paper with McCartney, Harrison and Lennon projecting out of the TV screen (or transistor radio speaker?). The black and blue horizontals suggest a vintage television broadcast.
The band at top, on the left and right, is split by an overhead bird's-eye view of the group, as if they were actual beetles.
This ink and colored pencil artwork was completed Nov 30, 1991.
