Description: In August 1964, 21-year-old photographer Douglas Gilbert, on assignment for Look magazine, photographed an up-and-coming folk singer named Bob Dylan. Just 23 years old, Dylan had already composed a striking body of work, including “Blowin’ in the Wind,” yet he himself was still relatively unknown. All that was about to change. For more than a week, Gilbert photographed a surprisingly open Bob Dylan, smiling and relaxed among friends like John Sebastian and Allen Ginsberg. To Gilbert’s dismay, Look deemed Dylan’s appearance “too scruffy” for a family magazine, and the images remained unpublished and unseen, until now. Featuring Dave Marsh’s text, Forever Young captures a pivotal time in Bob Dylan’s extraordinary career.
