The guitar of the legendary troubadour Bob Dylan travels the world and his words the ages. Thanks to his words, the artistic itinerary of his teacher, Norman Raeben, between America and Paris has been reconstructed. Around forty of the painter’s works are exhibited in a vast space, tracing his artistic development, his encounters with Chagall, Soutine and Matisse, and his influence on many American artists, Jewish intellectuals and immigrants of Yiddish culture. With portraits of New York Jewish artists and intellectuals such as Sholem Aleichem, Mary Adler, Bob Dylan, Seymour Osborne and Stella Adler.
