I love Bob Dylan, so there's little he does that doesn't captivate me.I was lucky to see the first exhibit of watercolors and goaches based on these drawings. I just happened to be in Berlin for the holidays when his work was being exhibted in Chemnitz, Germany, so we took the train to Chemnitz to view his work. Like his songs, his visual art can take many forms - being constantly alterd to see something differently through a change in color, size, or detail.Since Chemnitz, he has done numerous paintings and watercolors based on these drawings, most of which have been exhibited sold in Great Britain by Halycon Gallery. He also did a Brazilian Series shown in Denmark and an Asian Series exhibited in New York. Most recently, he exhibited a set of modified magazine covers that he entitled Revisionist Art. While I can't afford to by his prints or originals, I have purchased all of the catalogs from these exhibits.I just had to have a copy of the book of original drawings that inspired Ingrid Mossinger to offer to exhibit his finished works in Chemnitz. Her interest served as a catalyst to launch a prolific period for Dylan to complete and share some of his work in the visual arts.This book is a must-have for anyone interested in Dylan's artistic work.
