Bob Dylan


Bob Dylan is an American singer, songwriter, poet,writer and compositor born in 1941 in Duluth.
He played very many kind of music, often totally different like:

Rock, folk, blues, country, gospel

He is an author of songs which are thought to were the anthems of the generation : Blowin' in the Wind, Like a Rolling Stone and protest songs: The Times They Are a-Changin', Hurricane.
 The most amazing things for me about Bob Dylan's songs is that they were performed by the most important rock musicians and are still performed.

Bob Dylan poster
 
The once of the most important posters of Bob Dylan is made by Milton Glaser.
Depicting Dylan with kaleidoscopic hair, the Glaser poster has been described as “psychedelic”  and for me it recalls other graphics from 60s 70s .
Milton Glaser, who had studied in Italy on a Fulbright scholarship in the early 1950s, is a formalist with a broad awareness of artists and art movements, and he took his inspiration for the Dylan profile from a 1957 self-portrait by Marcel Duchamp. Though Glaser used a similar composition, the transformation of Dylan’s curly mane into a tangled rainbow was his own invention.
Since then it was copied and used by many other artists.
