In November 2021, the Bob Dylan: RetrospectrumВ exhibition opened at the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum in Miami, following a successful tour in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen.В Spanning six decades, itВ is the largest exhibition of Dylan's work to ever be displayed in the United States and will run until April 2022.В Featuring over 180 paintings, drawings and ironworks from throughout his artistic career, it also includes Dylan's brand-new Deep FocusВ series, which transforms scenes from films into cinematic paintings.ДylanвЂ™s contributions to worldwide culture have been recognised and honoured with many awards. He paints mostly from life, stating: 'IвЂ™m pretty much interested in people, histories, myth, and portraits people of all stripes.' Repeated motifs encourage the viewer to explore the depths of colour and the evolution of his work.В His art has been likened to that of Pablo Picasso, with critics applauding the relatability of his collections. The artistвЂ™s journeys between cities and towns are personified by his Expressionist lines, which capture the instant moment of a place, person and time. In 1974, Dylan spent two seminal months studying art with Ashcan School tutor Norman Raeben, who philosophised the importance of 'perceptual honesty' - painting life as it as seen, not imagined.В Dylan says of this time: 'He put my mind and my hand and my eye together, in a way that allowed me to do consciously what I unconsciously felt.'

A few drawings reached the public gaze with album covers like Music from Big PinkВ (1968) and Self PortraitВ (1970). Dylan dates the origins of his work as a visual artist to the early 1960s.
