The Third Eye
ByPublisher Description
An intimate, beautiful collection of more than two hundred never-before-collected photos of the Beatles at work and at play—many published for the first time—taken by their lead guitarist, George Harrison
This extraordinary book features:
• 200+ intimate images chronicling the Beatles’ rise to world fame, captured by one of their own
• Running commentary on the photos including never-before-seen quotes from Harrison himself
• Essays by Harrison’s widow, Olivia Harrison, and writers Colm Tóibín and George Saunders
From 1963 to 1969, George Harrison traveled the world with his bandmates, Pentax in hand, chronicling their impossible path from Liverpool to Ed Sullivan, Adelaide to Rishikesh, the Eiffel Tower to the beaches of Tahiti and beyond.
In this extraordinary collection of George’s personal photos and 8mm film stills—curated by Olivia Harrison, George’s widow—are singular images of Paul, John, Ringo, and George and the band’s friends and entourage as they rocketed to stardom and fostered the joyful madness that came to be known as Beatlemania. This revelatory, beautifully designed book takes the reader along on their first plane ride to the US, motorcades through the Australian outback, shopping trips in Paris, and more.
The candid, unguarded photos, brimming with Harrison’s wit, intelligence and penchant for experimentation (he was enamored of selfies, long before the iPhone), and snapped in those rare moments out of the spotlight offer a remarkable, inside look at the human beings behind the Beatles, trying to hold onto themselves—and enjoy themselves—while standing at the center of the storm.
The Third Eye opens a window into the world of the Beatles—and the transformative cultural moment that they sparked—through the singular artistic vision of George Harrison.
