Bob Dylan's Retrospectrum
This is what Dylan said about the exhibition. "It is very gratifying to know that my visual works will be exhibited at the Maxxi, in Rome: a truly special museum in one of the most beautiful and inspiring cities in the world. This exhibition aims to offer different points of view, which examine the human condition and explore those mysteries of life that continue to perplex us. It is very different from mine music, of course, but it has the same intent "
“Musician, composer, poet, Nobel Prize for literature. Bob Dylan is an absolute myth, one of the most important cultural icons of our time. With this exhibition, we will have the privilege of discovering an unprecedented aspect of his inexhaustible talent. His paintings, like his songs, are powerful, sincere, immediate, evoking journeys and suggestions on the road. Dylan is a piece of our history and a part of us.This is why I am particularly pleased with this exhibition at Maxxi which tells it in its entirety and tells us".
