Excellent condition. To say that Rafael Padilla loved the Beatles is an understatement. The fact is that he adored the Beatles and their music. In 1964 he heard for the first time "And I Love Her" by the Beatles. This song is the fifth track on their third album, A Hard Day's Night, it was released 20 July 1964 with "If I Fell" as a single by Capitol Records in the United States, reaching No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
From that moment on he was definitely bitten by a bug, a Beatle. This bug did not leave Rafael until his untimely death from stomach cancer in 2006.The odd thing is that Rafael worked as an art teacher for 26 years and did not paint this series until after 1980. Nova Art Auctions is proud to present this never before seen collection. Rafael's heirs decided to sell all of the collection and this is the time. All of the pieces of art are Certified Originals, signed and dated by the artist. All come with a genuine certificate of authenticity. Once this collection is sold that will be it.
