Turning from the crowd to address the figures of authority that the song calls upon; parents, politicians, and the ‘writers and critics \/ Who prophesize with your pen’, Dylan’s illustration shows one such writer at his roll-top desk, seemingly caught mid-sentence. His visible age and his belongings appear to be a symbol of the old, rigid frameworks which stand in contrast to the rapidly shifting cultural phenomena of the 1960s. Caught on the edge of this change, his gaze meets ours directly, implying that perhaps he heeds Dylan’s words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst album release: \u003cem\u003eThe Times They Are A-Changin’\u003c\/em\u003e, 1964\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMondo Scripto,\u003c\/em\u003e first exhibited at Halcyon Gallery in 2018, expanded that practice into a sustained and systematic project, as Dylan handwrote the lyrics to many of his best-loved songs and paired them with graphite drawings, weaving together decades of familiar songwriting with his personal artistic imagination. Dylan has returned to this format, injecting colour into several of his illustrations, extending Mondo Scripto’s dialogue between text and image into artworks altogether more immediate and instinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, in a new collection of six hand-coloured illustrations, issued as a series of lithographic works, Dylan returns to some of his most celebrated and lyrically complex songs, revisiting them in colour, while working in the same vein as his \u003cem\u003eDrawn Blank\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePoint Blank\u003c\/em\u003e series. Selected from a decade of Dylan’s writing, 1964 to 1974, these six works trace an arc through some of the most consequential and formative years of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDylan’s move into colour does much to advance his earlier graphite drawings, bringing new emotional registers, insights and layers to the songs, decades after their initial conception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artwork is also available in a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.castlefineart.com\/products\/bob-dylan-mondo-scripto-2026-framed-set-of-six\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eframed set\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.castlefineart.com\/collections\/mondo-scripto-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMondo Scripto\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e or shop Dylan’s art \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.castlefineart.com\/collections\/bob-dylan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bob Dylan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66076540633437,"sku":"BDY-SLE-POR-41642","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/1906\/6461\/files\/BDYTheTimesTheyAreA_Changin__0.jpg?v=1790770329","url":"https:\/\/www.castlefineart.com\/products\/bob-dylan-the-times-they-are-achangin","provider":"Castle Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
