Apple To The Corps

**Paul McCartney owns the RenÃ© Magritte painting Le Jeu de Morre (The Game of Mora), which became the inspiration behind The Beatles’ Apple Corps logo**

‘In my garden at Cavendish Avenue, which was a 100-year-old house Iâ€™d bought, Robert [Fraser] was a frequent visitor. One day he got hold of a Magritte he thought Iâ€™d love. Being Robert, he would just get it and bring it. I was out in the garden with some friends. I think I was filming Mary Hopkin with a film crew, just getting her to sing live in the garden, with bees and flies buzzing around, high summer. We were in the long grass, very beautiful, very country-like. We were out in the garden and Robert didnâ€™t want to interrupt, so when we went back in the big door from the garden to the living room, there on the table heâ€™d just propped up this little Magritte. It was of a green apple. That became the basis of the Apple logo. Across the painting Magritte had written in that beautiful handwriting of his â€˜Au Revoirâ€™. And Robert had split. I thought that was the coolest thing anyoneâ€™s ever done with me. When I saw it, I just thought: â€˜Robertâ€™. Nobody else could have done that. Of course weâ€™d settle the bill later. He wouldnâ€™t hit me with a bill.‘ [ITP 20: Le Jeu de Morre by Rene Magritte, 1966; the Apple Corp. Logo, 1967]
