Bob Dylan
Lisa Law and her husband Tom who was road manager for Peter, Paul & Mary were living in an enormous house purchased by Tom’s brother, John Philip Law, in the early 60s nicknamed “The Castle” opposite Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennis House in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. Because of its size musicians used to rent rooms where they would stay and work whilst they were visiting the hub of the music scene there. It had 3 floors, a basement, a ballroom a huge dining room, a solarium, and giant bedrooms on each floor.
It became the “hangout” for everyone from David Crosby, Lenny Bruce, The Velvet Underground, Allen Ginsberg, and even Andy Warhol. Lisa was the in-house earth mother and photographer. Dylan rented the master bedroom on the second floor and could be heard typing away on his small typewriter writing some of the most profound songs ever written in the 60s and 70s. Lisa captured this image in the solarium of “The Castle” and Dylan is there in all his “coolness”, “mystery” and uniqueness”. To my eye one of the best portraits of him ever taken. -Peter Fetterman, Peter Fetterman Gallery, Los Angeles, CA |
