Bob Dylan Compleet is een reis van het absolute begin naar het meest recente einde, onderweg stoppend bij albums en outtakes, films en concerten – alles gebaseerd op interviews met de songwriter zelf en de muzikanten, producers en bekenden om hem heen.
Daarbij is het boek rijk geïllustreerd met zowel iconische als onbekendere foto’s van de beste fotografen uit de rockscene. Dit is een bijbel voor alle fans die het waard is om keer op keer uit de kast getrokken te worden bij het beluisteren van de klassieke liedjes.
Het is een uitgebreid en onmisbaar overzicht van een muzikale carrière die dit jaar werd en wordt gevierd met de 75ste verjaardag van Bob Dylan, een nieuw album en een optreden op Coachella (een van de grootste muziekfestivals in Amerika). Daarbij heeft Dylan de Nobelprijs voor de Literatuur in 2016 gewonnen.
704 pagina’s, 492 nummers. Bob Dylan Compleet vertelt chronologisch en zonder een detail over te slaan het verhaal van een songwriter en muzikant die niet alleen in de muziek- maar ook in de wereldgeschiedenis een bijzondere plaats in neemt.
Philippe Margotin en Jean-Michel Guesdon schreven eerder de internationale hit The Beatles Compleet.

Published for the first time in a beautiful collectible edition, the essential lecture delivered by the 2016 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Bob Dylan.
On October 13, 2016, Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, recognizing his countless contributions to music and letters over the last fifty years. Some months later, he delivered an acceptance lecture that is now memorialized in book form for generations to come.
In The Nobel Lecture, Dylan reflects on his life and experience with literature, providing both a rare artistic statement and an intimate look at a uniquely American icon.
From finding inspiration in the music of Buddy Holly and Leadbelly to the works of literature that helped shape his own approach to writing—The Odyssey, Moby-Dick, and All Quiet on the Western Front—this is Dylan like you’ve never seen him before.

From 24 May 2017, Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle will show 12 pastels by Bob Dylan (1941). The 2012 portrait series Face Value, on loan from The Bob and Jenny Ramsey Collection, is the first visual art by Dylan ever to be displayed in the Netherlands.
The drawings are as direct and unpolished as his music. The ‘character studies’, as Dylan describes them, are portraits of three women and nine men. They look directly at the viewer with a certain impertinence. Dylan uses sharp lines to pin down the personalities, that are an amalgam of characteristics taken from his environment, and memories and interests in people both real and imaginary. The titles of the works combine what Dylan wishes to express (Losing Face, Face Down or In Your Face), followed by the first and family name of the person. There are no clear indications whether he really refers to pianist Sylvia Renard or author Nigel Julian.
Dylan selected the Face Value series for a show in London’s National Portrait Gallery in 2013. After London, the works were exhibited in Denmark, the United States and Germany, and can now be enjoyed in the Netherlands. The portraits have a unique place in his oeuvre. Ever since his youth, Dylan has made many sketches and drawings. He started working with oil paint in the sixties, but never before has he created such a comprehensive series of portraits. His use of colours in these pastels is also different: where he usually prefers a lot of expression and contrast, here he opts for four or five soft hues for the faces. Dylan works in layers; he starts by drawing the portraits in thin pencil lines, adds a soft pink or cream layer which he smooths out with his fingers and continues to develop the portrait with black or a dark brown. The drawings, like his songs, are expressions of an inventive imagination.
Dylan introduced his drawing talent to the public with something of a splash with his self-designed 1973 book Writings and Drawings, in which he combines lyrics with full-page ink drawings. He later published Drawn Blank (1989 and 1991-1992), to which he added a series of gouaches and watercolours 10 years ago.
In contrast to Dylan’s art, the museum also presents a portrait series of the Craeyvanger family, created more than 350 years earlier. Gerard ter Borch, Zwolle’s most internationally recognised artist, portrayed Willem Craeyvanger, Christine van der Wart and their eight children between 1651 and 1658. This comprehensive 17th century series of painted portraits of a single family is unique. Face Value is a continuation of previous exhibitions at Museum de Fundatie that focus on portraiture. The popularity of photo exhibition Dutch Identity (2016) and Look at Man! (finished January 2017) – displaying portraits by Bacon, Brancusi, Dumas and Richter – has proven that the ‘old’ genre of portraiture is certainly alive and well in the 21st century.
Bob Dylan was born in 1941 as Robert Allen Zimmerman. He signed his first record contract in 1961 and went on to become one of the most original and influential voices in the history of American folk and pop music. The 1963 release of his second album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, ensured his international artistic breakthrough. Subsequent years brought many classic songs such as Blowing In The Wind, The Times They Are A-Changin’, Subterranean Homesick Blues, Like A Rolling Stone, Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door and Hurricane. With an impressive back catalogue and a career spanning more than fifty years, Dylan still regularly tours the world. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature on 13 October 2016, for “having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”. He is the first lyricist to be awarded the coveted prize. Bob Dylan will be playing live in AFAS Live in Amsterdam on 16, 17 and 18 April. For more information on this: www.mojo.nl/bobdylan
Bob Dylan: Face Value
Published by National Portrait Gallery
Introduction by John Elderfield
With over 500 songs, 46 albums and an astonishing 110 million record sales to his name, Bob Dylan (born 1941), now in his early seventies, is turning increasingly to another mode of artistic expression; one that has occupied him throughout his life, but for which he is much less well known. Although Dylan has sketched and drawn since childhood and painted since the late 1960s, only relatively recently has he begun to exhibit his artworks. The 12 works collected in this beautifully produced volume represent his latest foray into portraiture. In an illuminating essay and a rare Q&A with Dylan, curator and art historian John Elderfield explores the story behind these works. For Elderfield, Dylan’s paintings, like his songs, are “products of the same extraordinary, inventive imagination, the same mind and eye, by the same story-telling artist, for whom showing and telling … are not easily separated.”

“Printer’s ink is the greater explosive.”—Lawrence Ferlinghetti
City Lights Pocket Poets Anthology
60th Anniversary Edition
Edited by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
A comprehensive selection from Ferlinghetti’s famed City Lights Pocket Poets Series, published on the 60th anniversary of its founding.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti founded the City Lights publishing house sixty years ago in 1955, launching the press with his now legendary Pocket Poets Series. First in the series was Pictures of the Gone World—and within a year, he had brought out two more volumes, translations by Kenneth Rexroth and 
then, poems by Kenneth Patchen. But it was the success and scandal of Number Four, Howl & Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg (1956), that put City Lights on the map, positioning the Pocket Poets Series at the forefront of the literary counterculture.
A landmark sixtieth retrospective celebrating 60 years of publishing and cultural history, this edition provides an invaluable distillation of the energetic, iconoclastic and still fresh body of work represented in the ongoing series. Ferlinghetti has selected a handful of poems from each of the sixty volumes, including the work of 
Ginsberg, Kerouac, Corso, Pasolini, Voznesensky, Prévert, Mayakovsky, Cortázar, O’Hara, Ponsot, Levertov, di Prima, Duncan, Lamantia, Lowry, and more, all of the Pocket Poets Series’ innovative, influential, and often ground-breaking American and international poets.
Founded in 1953 by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Peter D. Martin, City Lights is one of the few truly great independent bookstores in the United States, a place where booklovers from across the country and around the world come to browse, read, and just soak in the ambiance of alternative culture’s only “Literary Landmark.” 
Although it has been more than fifty years since tour buses with passengers eager to sight “beatniks” began pulling up in front of City Lights, the Beats’ legacy of anti-authoritarian politics and insurgent thinking continues to be a strong influence in the store, most evident in the selection of titles.
