These include an Academy Award for his song 'Things Have Changed', which featured in the 2000 film Wonder Boys, along with 12 Grammy Awards and a Special Citation Pulitzer Prize for his 'profound impact on popular music and American culture'. Repeated motifs encourage the viewer to explore the depths of colour and the evolution of his work. His art has been likened to that of Pablo Picasso, with critics applauding the relatability of his collections, which include The Beaten Path, The Drawn Blank Series, T rain Tracks, Mondo Scripto and The Brazil Series. He paints mostly from life, stating: "I’m pretty much interested in people, histories, myth, and portraits people of all stripes."ĭylan’s contributions to worldwide culture have been recognised and honoured with many awards. The artist’s journeys between cities and towns are personified by his Expressionist lines, which capture the instant moment of a place, person and time. In 1974, Dylan spent two seminal months studying art with Ashcan School tutor Norman Raeben, who philosophised the importance of 'perceptual honesty' - painting life as it as seen, not imagined. Dylan says of this time: "He put my mind and my hand and my eye together, in a way that allowed me to do consciously what I unconsciously felt."
A few drawings reached the public gaze with album covers like Music from Big Pink (1968) and Self Portrait (1970).
Dylan dates the origins of his work as a visual artist to the early 1960s.
