Bob Dylan The Drawn Blank Series
Bob Dylan (Robert Allen Zimmerman) was born on 24th May 1941 in Duluth MN.
Based on drawings and sketches made by Dylan while on the road from 1989 to 1992, the watercolour and gouache paintings in The Drawn Blank Series were created by Dylan during 2007 and visually echo the stylistic hallmarks of Dylan’s prose, poetry and music. Just as Dylan’s songs are constantly reinvigorated and rediscovered through his live performances, these limited edition graphics revisit images and scenes with a wide range of variety and creativity.
Bob Dylan is one of the world’s most popular and acclaimed songwriters, musicians and performers, having sold more than 110 million albums and performed literally thousands of shows around the world in a career spanning five decades. Over the last forty-six years he has released forty-four albums and written over five hundred songs including Blowin’ in the Wind, The Times They Are A-Changin, Like a Rolling Stone, Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door and Make You Feel My Love. His songs have been covered more than three thousand times by artists ranging from Duke Ellington to the Rolling Stones, from Bob Marley to Rod Stewart.
In 2001, he received a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best song from a motion picture for Things Have Changed from the movie Wonder Boys. Dylan’s Chronicles – Volume I, his memoirs released in October, 2004, was a world-wide best seller, spending 19 weeks on The New York Times Bestseller List. In April 2008 he was awarded a special Pulitzer Prize for “his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power”.
