Bob Dylan: Retrospectrum

About this book

A six-decade survey of Dylans work in painting drawing and sculpture Spanning six decades Retrospectrum showcases the development and range of Bob Dylans (born 1941) visual art in an array of mediums. His diverse creations include works made in oil acrylic watercolor ink pastel charcoal and sculpture in iron. Among the artworks presented in Retrospectrum are some of Dylans earliest ink sketches first published in 1973s Writings and Drawings which illustrated and compiled Dylans lyrics up to that date. These are shown alongside 2021s Mondo Scripto series in which Dylan revisited some of his most renowned lyrics hand-lettering and illustrating them. The book also features the iconic Train Tracks series; The New Orleans Series and The Asia Series (from 2012 and 2010 respectively) inspired by Dylans travels; works from his hugely popular The Beaten Path series (2015present); and his iron sculptures created from found objects.
