bob dylan point blank book 2661190

Bob Dylan, at 84, is releasing a new book titled *Point Blank (Quick Studies)* in November 2025, published by Simon & Schuster. The volume collects about 100 drawings he created between 2021 and 2022, featuring portraits, still lifes, and landscapes in black-and-white. The works were originally the foundation for his current exhibition of the same name at Halcyon Gallery in London, on view through July 6. The book includes prose contributions from writers Lucy Sante and Eddie Gorodetsky.

This marks Dylan’s first art book in a decade from a major trade press, underscoring the sustained seriousness of his visual art practice alongside his legendary music career. The publication and exhibition highlight how Dylan’s observational eye translates across media, reinforcing his status as a multidisciplinary artist. The book also follows his 2022 music commentary *The Philosophy of Modern Song* and his 2004 memoir, showing his continued engagement with publishing and visual storytelling.
