Yoko Ono created An Invisible Flower when she was just nineteen years old, at the very start of her artistic career. Recently rediscovered in her archive by her son, Sean Lennon, who also provides a foreword, this jewel of a book tells the heartwarming story of the invisible beauty we all know is there—and of the one man, "Smelty John", who catches sight of it. Written years before Ono met John Lennon, An Invisible Flower offers a glimpse into the early process of a brilliant conceptual artist and, it will transpire, presages the love of her life. Simple pastel drawings complement the book's affirming message, and a new afterword by Ono makes this small treasure even more special.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When I count what's wrong with my life, I get totally depressed.

When I count the good things, I feel like smiling and I do.

Then I think, "well, it's not all that bad."

Life is not a bowl of cherries.

But when I see myself smiling in the mirror, I like myself more.

Life is a roller-coaster. That's what I now think.

Recently, I got a message that I was a king, and I should stop the battle, and appreciate my victory.

Well, I should listen to that one.

And you, too, my friend.

We are all kings.

The battle is the battle of goodness winning WORLD PEACE.

At all times, find something that makes you laugh.

Laughter is the best workout!

Chimpanzees are wise to it. Are you?

I love dancing. I think it's better to dance than to march through life, don't you?

Sweet story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a sweet little story/ sketches. I also love the fact Yoko Ono wrote it as a youngster, that an important character named John is in it, and that their son Sean Ono Lennon published it.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 2, 2012

Verified Purchase

Maybe is the fact that I respect Y.O. too much, but I'll say I expected better. I wondered how yoko was during her teenage years, and the answer is she was good, she was a proto-artist...
but the drawings in this book are basically doodles (4year old like)and has very little text.

HONESTLY...
If you are a hard core Y.O. fan you may find it fascinating.
If you are a bit into Y.O., you will think the book is OK.
If you're a casual reader... you may think it's just trash...

(EDIT: i've added pictures of it to the gallery, check them out)

This story shines with its simplicity, and echoes the inimitable conceptual art style that Yoko Ono is noted for. It is refreshing in its innocence and spare use of strong words. Vivid, intense and memorable-- a must-have for any fan or admirer of Yoko and her art. P.S. It's lovely visually as well.

Hope this book is read by people who hates yoko without knowing her. One of the biggest influence in the art, music of the last part of the 20th Century.

FAMOUS NAME

'SIMPLY' BEAUTFUL...!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a truly, very simple, yet beautiful book - as can only be expected from Yoko!

Enormously great value - large quality hardback and binding with dust cover - simply GORGEOUS to own! I could not believe the low price of this amazing Item...

This is the story - using art, about the presence of an `invisible flower' which is told in the form of some simple impressive art from this great conceptual artist - along with simple words and isolated sentences.

I LOVE this book, because it's very convincing; one is left feeling that this invisible flower really exists among us all - and is all around us and the flower will represent many different things to many different people. It's unique and very personal, and I loved Sean's idea of getting this out in print for us all to treasure and enjoy - Thanks Sean!

There may or may not be a connection with Yoko's meeting here with John Lennon, but one thing is for certain; this book was written a whole decade before they'd met each other - yet the name `John' is there - and so is his presence - fascinating...

I loved the mushrooms and the BEAUTIFUL vibrant 'one early dawn'.

Thanks Yoko - you're always having great `feel good' influence in my life!

i ii iii (for Yoko & Sean)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 16, 2013

This is not a book to buy, its a kids story made into a kind of magical thing by a much too eager publisher - which as it turns out, is nothing but Yoko's son Sean. It should rather have been posted as a free document on the web, attainable for the most brainwashed fans.
