A new exhibition of photographs from the archives of Paul McCartney is on display at New York City’s Brooklyn Museum.
"Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm" opens to the public on Friday, features over 250 black-and-white and color photographs covering the Beatles’ already-established popularity in Britain and their first visit to the U.S.
Decades later, those images Paul McCartney took were rediscovered and first shown at London’s National Portrait Gallery prior to this current stop in Brooklyn. “The photographs remind me of an England that was more my parents’ generation than my own; of the early concerts and those original fans; of Beatlemania, a true English invention; and of a London that in 1963 spoke of promise and ambition and everything new to four young men from the North,” Paul said, as quoted in the new exhibition.
“When I look back I think, wow, we did that and we’re just kids from Liverpool,”
said McCartney as quoted from the exhibit.
“And here it is in these photographs. Boy, how great does John look? How handsome is George and how cool is Ringo, wearing his funny French hat?
Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm is now on view at the Brooklyn Museum in Brooklyn, New York, through Aug. 18.
