Bob Dylan has been a prolific graphic artist since the 1960s, and his graphic art is characterized by the same constant drive for innovation that characterizes his music. Never content to remain static in a single form of expression he has already cultivated, he is constantly experimenting and testing new artistic techniques and expressions. This book from the exhibition at the National Gallery of Denmark includes about 100 works, including completely new works on public display for the first time. Bob Dylan has recently delved into acrylic painting, and the exhibition is the first to document this new direction in the artist's work, featuring larger-sized paintings alongside drawings. Dylan's works are often created during his exhaustive tours, and his motifs bear corresponding imprints of the environments and people he crosses in his life. As a graphic artist, he acts as a phenomenal observer who depicts the immediately banal and everyday facets of life in such a way that they appear fresh and new to the viewer.
