Bob Dylan

More about the book

English In addition to his unique abilities as a composer, poet, singer and performer, Bob Dylan (b. 1941) created an extensive oeuvre in the visual arts. His pastels entitled "Face Value" emerged in 2012. They show faces that are influenced by experience and circumstances. Dylan gives these portraits a surprising depth. He links his subjects to centuries-old icons, and thereby giving the sitter, despite their adversities in life, a special dignity. The catalogue of watercolors is supplemented by contributions from an art, musical and literary scholar, who analyzes Dylan's work under multiple aspects.
