Bob Dylan as painter

By Jessica Schneider Jun 3, 2008, 10:52 GMT

This new book called Bob Dylan: The Drawn Blank Series features the drawings and sketches of legend singer Bob Dylan.

Edited by Ingrid Mössinger and Kerstin Drechsel, “we are given insight into the expressive, unvarnished way this artist approaches the world and reminded he is that rare person who can move effortlessly between music, word, ink, paint, as if he’s just futzing around with a few different instruments in the studio,” the NYT reviewer states.
Of course this is probably only for the die-hard Dylan fans, Publishers Weekly states: “While Dylan's interior studies can be intriguing and psychologically fraught, his portraits and nudes seldom come off as more than earnest imitations of the Expressionist works he admires. Such judgments, however, may be beside the point for the Dylanologists, as Rosteck describes them, to whom the book will appeal.”Published by Prestel USA, visit the NYT article for more information.
