Meaning & Analysis
Created in 2014, Bob Dylan's Bragg Apartment, New York City captures the intimate atmosphere of urban living through watercolour and gouache. This signed print from the Drawn Blank series showcases Dylan's fascination with interior spaces as sites of personal narrative, drawing from his deep connection to New York's creative landscape.
The interior of Bragg Apartment, New York City unfolds in rich reds and purples, creating warmth that transforms an ordinary domestic space into something both disorienting and emotionally resonant.
