Description

Harrison’s ‘Taxman’ comes to vivid, dystopian life

Limited edition color 13 x 19 lithograph of artwork by Keith West entitled ‘Taxman,’ depicting a warthog and a military official crushing the life and money from a man via a rolling press machine as a line of citizens await the same gruesome fate, numbered 164/850, signed in the lower border in pencil by Harrison, as well as the artist, Keith West. Archivally double-matted and framed to an overall size of 22.25 x 28.5. In very fine condition. One of the first songs composed by Harrison, ‘Taxman’ opened the Beatles’ 1966 album Revolver with a lyrical assault on the unjust progressive tax levied by British Labour Party head Harold Wilson. A humorous, if not dystopian, visual representation of the classic Beatles tune.
