The Beatles' portrait, using "Isn't It a Pity" lyrics, a song by George Harrison on "All Things Must Pass" record (1970, after the band broke up).

Take time to listen to this wonderful song and this awesome record if you still don't know it.

After a few comments (thanks guys), I guess I have to explain a little more what I tried to do in my work.

First, sorry for my poor english.

People can understand the lyrics of "Isn't it a pity" through many sides. What I feel while I listen to this song is that George Harrison is nostalgic about the Beatles, he regrets all the tensions between them and the way they broke up, maybe he's feeling guilty too.

Now here is why I decided not to illustrate George Harrison in this picture (no, I didn't forgot him). I wanted the picture to represent my vision of the song, so naturally I couldn't show all of them. And somehow this empty square makes the picture even more powerful, because it miss someone.

I totally agree when people tell me "The Fab Four are 4 !" but here is the thing : in 1970, there's no Fab Four anymore. There's Paul, John, George and Ringo, all alone.

I'm not a specialist of the Beatles' story, I don't mean to tell facts, it's just what I feel about this song. Anyone can understand the lyrics differently and have his own vision, here's mine.

Hope you'll enjoy this work, comments are welcome, thanks.
