Description

From the personal collection of legendary rock photographer Barry Feinstein—a color 15.75 x 12 print on fine art paper of an outtake from the photo session for George Harrison's iconic 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass, showing the former Beatles guitarist sitting amidst garden gnomes at his Friar Park estate. Though similar to the artwork used for the album, this image portrays Harrison in a less contemplative, more at-ease mood, smiling as he looks away from the camera. Stamped on the reverse with Barry Feinstein's copyright. In fine condition.

All Things Must Pass, released as a pioneering triple album on November 27, 1970, was George Harrison's solo debut—and proof that his talents had gone under-appreciated during his time with the Beatles. Barry Feinstein's black-and-white cover artwork, showcasing Harrison seated in his garden, surrounded by gnomes, symbolizes a sense of solitude and contemplation. The stark, open setting complements the album’s themes of spiritual reflection and transition. Feinstein's iconic image has become a visual representation of Harrison’s emergence as a solo artist and the depth of the album itself.

Featuring hits like 'My Sweet Lord' and 'Isn't It a Pity?,' the record received widespread critical acclaim for its rich production, spiritual themes, and Harrison's exceptional songwriting. Regarded as one of the greatest solo albums by any ex-Beatle, its legacy endures as a landmark in the history of rock music.

Feinstein collaborated frequently with Harrison at the outset of his post-Beatles career, contributing artwork for his albums All Things Must Pass, The Concert for Bangladesh, and Living in the Material World. They became close friends and Feinstein was granted unprecedented access as a photographer, allowed to capture Harrison at home, in his garden, onstage, and in the studio. Many of the photographs and ephemera from their time together have been collected in the book George Harrison: Be Here Now by Barry Feinstein and Chris Murphy.

From the personal collection of Barry Feinstein and accompanied by a letter of authenticity from his estate. Barry Feinstein passed away in 2011, and since then his estate has offered posthumous estate stamped limited edition photographs from his archives; this example, printed during his lifetime and deriving from his personal collection, is superior to those gallery offerings.
