Hear from two photographers who played key roles in shaping Dylan’s early image. John Cohen and Daniel Kramer will discuss images of Dylan as part of their wider bodies of work.
In addition to being a photographer and filmmaker, John Cohen is a founding member of the New Lost City Ramblers. His photographs of Dylan’s early years in Greenwich Village have been published in his book Young Bob. Cohen’s other work includes images documenting the abstract expressionist scene centered around New York's Cedar Bar; Beat Generation writers during the filming of Robert Frank and Alfred Leslie’s Pull My Daisy; and the "old time" musicians of Appalachia.
Daniel Kramer, a New York-based, award-winning photographer and film director, created a pivotal body of work of Bob Dylan in 1964 and 1965. His photos were used for the album covers Highway 61 Revisited and Bringing It All Back Home, both from 1965. The cover for the latter album was selected as one of the 100 greatest album covers of all time by Rolling Stone.
Presented in conjunction with the Weisman exhibition Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1955-1965, on view through April 29. For more info: www.weisman.umn.edu, 612-625-9494.
