Poster, Blowing in the Mind/Mister Tambourine Man, 1968

This is a Poster. It is dated 1968 and we acquired it in 2009. Its medium is lithograph on wove paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.

For this poster featuring Bob Dylan, Sharp drew inspiration from the musician’s signature curly hair. Radiating circular motifs imitate the curls and also borrow from Albrecht Dürer’s woodcut, seen nearby. Just above Dylan’s forehead and scattered throughout, Sharp inserts the knot patterns that Dürer created in the early 16th century.

This object was donated by Marc Benda. It is credited Gift of Sara and Marc Benda.
