The collection will feature nearly 100 black and white drawings that the singer made between 2021 and 2022. The drawings in Point Blank served as the basis for Dylan’s latest exhibition of the same name, which opened at London’s Halcyon Gallery earlier this year and is on display through July 6.
“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,” publisher Simon & Schuster says. These works will be accompanied by short prose vignettes written by Eddie Gorodetsky, Jackie Hamilton and Lucy Sante.
Point Blank (Quick Studies) follows the 2023 monograph Retrospectrum and is available to preorder now. To coincide with the release, Simon & Schuster will also release unabridged audiobook of Dylan's 2004 memoir Chronicles: Volume 1, which clocks in at 10 hours and is narrated by Sean Penn (who also narrated the original five-hour version).
Now, a new biography explores this fascinating period in Dylan’s fabled music career.
Decade Of Dissent: How 1960s Bob Dylan Changed The World by author and journalist Sean Egan draws on exclusive original interviews and never-before-published insights about the first 10 years of Dylan’s music career, spanning his rise as a music icon to his self-inflicted descension as a background character in the cultural zeitgeist of the 1970s.
