Bob Dylan has been accused of plagiarism after it emerged that some of the paintings in his New York exhibition closely resembled other artists' works.

The singer-songwriter's show was billed as a "visual journal" of his travels in Asia.

But it was soon spotted that at least 10 of the 18 paintings bore a startling similarity to photographs, some of which were taken more than 130 years ago.
