英语文摘:Bold or boring? - impression of Bob Dylan's new exhibition

However, he admits: "I think the fact that this is Bob Dylan will lead to more visitors. Not the fact that it is Brazilian motifs."

Dylan himself writes in the exhibition catalogue that it was "more than a little surprising when I was asked to create works specifically for this museum," but "it was an honor and a thrilling challenge."

Born in 1941 in Minnesota, the United States, Dylan cut his first album in 1961, and has had more than 40 official record releases since. His music has tackled social, religious and moral themes, while hits such as "Blowin' in the Wind," "Tambourine Man" and "Like a Rolling Stone" have influenced the musical taste of generations.

But Dylan fans hoping to find parallels between the songs and the paintings are likely to be disappointed.

"I've tried hard to find songs that match his pictures," Monrad reveals, "but I haven't succeeded."

That is not surprising. While working on this series, Dylan told the gallery, "If I could have expressed the same in a song, I would have written a song instead."

After this exhibition, the public might agree with that, too.

Bob Dylan's "The Brazil Series" is "on the run" from Sept. 4, 2010 to to Feb. 20, 2011 at the National Gallery of Denmark here.
