Times They Are a Changing for Bob Dylan the Painter
Bob Dylan Shows Paintings in London
The Painter
The paintings were from sketches he did while on the road between 1989-1992. He used acrylic paints on canvas with vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes. His images show a very unique style (what else would you expect from Dylan) that is common among painters.
Looking at his painting depicting a railroad track scene that looks somewhat urban I get the thought that this might for him have been very common on the road. He always looks to capitalize on the moment without regard to commercial value. You get a true picture of what he feels from the heart that is important about him as a painter.
As a young man who listened and an old man who still listens to his music I can see the same artist in his paintings that I heard in his music. That is a very compelling feeling about how we look at life and why art comes in many different mediums. The casual laidback style makes me smile and adds value to his artistry as a painter and a songwriter/singer.
Who is Bob Dylan
For you who didn't grow-up in the 60's-70's Bob Dylan was a voice of question dealing with civil rights, anti-war attitudes and questions about life in general for those of us growing up in those by-gone years. We sat around looking for meaning in everything he sang, spoke or wrote about. He was our pied piper.
According to last.fm Bob Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota on May 24, 1941. A songwriter who became the un-official spokesperson for a generation of kids born out of the post war period known as baby-boomers he wrote such songs as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Times They are a Changing". These songs were railings against the Viet Nam War and the Civil Rights movement. They will remain icons of American Folk Music well after Bob Dylan is gone.
"How many roads must a man walk-down before we call him a man?" (Bob Dylan Lyrics). Fitting lyrics for a painter or a songwriter.
