Biography
Bob Dylan – Man on a Bridge (2011)
A signed and framed limited edition giclee on paper of 295 by cultural legend, Bob Dylan entitled Woman In Red Lion Pub (2011)
On adding new colour and texture to his originally monochromatic sketches, Bob Dylan wrote: “every picture spoke a different language to me as the various colours were applied”. This is emblematic of The Drawn Blank Series where Dylan revisited drawings that he made while on tour in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Since being exhibited within the ground-breaking touring exhibition Retrospectrum, which has so far opened in Shanghai, Beijing and Miami, Dylan’s The Drawn Blank Series remains enduringly significant, over a decade after it was first released.
s one of the most influential artists of all time, Bob Dylan has sold more than 125 million records. His contribution to worldwide culture has been honoured with many awards. These include an Academy Award for his song ‘Things Have Changed’, along with 10 Grammy Awards and a Special Citation Pulitzer Prize for his “profound impact on popular music and American culture”. Further accolades include France’s prestigious appointment of Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur, a Kennedy Center Honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Nobel Prize in Literature for “having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”.
However, Bob Dylan is now just as revered for his fine art, which offers a unique insight into his extraordinary world. He dates the origins of his work as a visual artist to the early 1960s, when some of his drawings reached the public gaze with album covers like The Band’s Music from Big Pink (1968) and his own Self Portrait (1970). In 1974, Dylan spent two seminal months studying art with Ashcan School tutor Norman Raeben, who philosophised the importance of ‘perceptual honesty’ – painting life as it as seen, not imagined. Dylan says of this time: “He put my mind and my hand and my eye together, in a way that allowed me to do consciously what I unconsciously felt.”
