Autographed photo of musician Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney is a legendary British musician, whose name has become a symbol of an entire era in world music. As one of the founders of The Beatles, he radically changed the pop culture of the 20th century, creating more than 300 songs, many of which were included in the golden fund of world music. 16 Grammy Awards, the Order of the British Empire and the title of Knight Bachelor underline the scale of his influence.

McCartney had a special passion for collecting unusual guitars. In 1982, a series of photographs was taken where the musician posed with his favorite instruments. In the presented photo from the Stargift collection, he holds one of the most extravagant pieces of his collection, a guitar with a heart—shaped soundboard. This instrument, like many others in his collection, reflected the creative personality of the musician, who was always looking for new forms of self-expression.
