Bob Dylan's art to go on display at National Portrait Gallery

Pastel portraits from folk legend Bob Dylan are set to go on show at London’s National Portrait Gallery later this month.

The exhibition, entitled Bob Dylan: Face Value, will run from 24 August 2013 right through to 5 January 2014. The collection will include the singer, and sometime artist, show stories he’s well-known as evoking in verse in “visual form”.

The gallery’s director, Sandy Nairne said of the drawings: ”There is an indirect but delightful relationship with Dylan, who is one of our great, even extraordinary storytellers. To have his stories in visual form, to allow the viewer to make their own stories from his work, is intriguing.”

The collection will consist of 12 portraits in all, two of which can be viewed below.
