The Beatles, from rock band to folk art

The Times’ Randy Lewis recent reviewed the video game The Beatles: Rock Band, praising ‘its more humanized graphic representations of the main characters.’ By contrast, these paintings of three of the Fab Four (George Harrison not included), recovered from a Belgian carnival, have a great deal more warmth and folk-art charm. At 115 by 55 inches, the grouping will neatly fill any wall that isn’t already covered with a flat-screen TV. The price? It’s for McCartney-sized budgets -- $4,500 at Inner Gardens. The Culver City landscape and home store also has 1960s triptychs featuring European film stars and Elvis Presley.
