Breeze

It came as no surprise to Breeze when the Economist tracked the success of Dylan’

s artist career beneath the iconic image of Train Tracks from the hit series, Drawn Blank.

The collection of sketches (first conceived between the covers of Dylan’

s book Drawn Blank) had previously been overlooked. Their rediscovery (and subsequent reworking by the artist) has proven very lucrative indeed.

Many have already seen returns on their investment, as many graphics are now unavailable -

pushing prices higher as supply fails to meet the unprecedented demand.

The collection of 92 drawings (created whilst on tour), have a distinctive and undeniable style. Critics were quick to draw comparisons with German Expressionist, Max Beckmann; both share the dynamic use of black lines. What this also indicates is an understanding by Dylan of how to create work that will translate well into print (Beckmann, of course, used the medium of woodcuts). Picasso used the simple black line superbly and demonstrated an innate knowledge of how to design for print.

Dylan’s sketches possess the same frank honesty as the lyrics of his song. so if you feel ‘Just Like a Woman’ then take home Woman in a Red Lion Pub. You may not get a second chance.

Dylan is not alone in his dual creativity.
