Point Blank: (Quick Studies)

By Bob Dylan

Book Overview

Point Blank (Quick Studies) is the first major publication of Bob Dylan's artwork in over a decade, featuring nearly 100 never-before-seen drawings.

Bob Dylan is a master at telling stories, creating moods and provoking feelings--not only in music and the written word but also in visual art, which he has been creating since the 1960s. This publication of his art features nearly 100 black-and-white drawings that were completed between 2021 and 2022 and served as the basis for his latest exhibition--also titled Point Blank--at London's Halcyon Gallery in early 2025. The works vary between portraits, still lifes, and landscapes: roller-skating lovers, a suit of armor, a suspension bridge, a karaoke singer, a roll of Scotch tape, a Parisian canal, a man with a crooked smile. Accompanying the artwork are short prose vignettes written by Eddie Gorodetsky, Jackie Hamilton and Lucy Sante that further enhance the images' evocativeness. Dylan's ability to find beauty and mystery in the seemingly mundane is one of his great gifts--and the gift he's continually given to the public over the years, including now with Point Blank.
