JIM DINE
Jim Dine is most know for his pop art work, using hearts and everyday household objects, using mixed media such as etching, drypoint and lithograph (A printing process in which the image to be printed is rendered on a flat surface, as on sheet zinc or aluminum, and treated to retain ink while the nonimage areas are treated to repel ink)
Jim Dine was born in 1935 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He studied at several art schools before
graduating from Ohio University, Athens, in 1957. In 1959 he moved to New York where he
started to exhibit his work. Along with artists Claes Oldenburg and Allan Kaprow, Dine
became involved in the first “happenings,” the name given to the theatrical art events of the
1960’s performed at the Judson Gallery. Within four years of arriving in New York, Dine
became a key player within the New York Art scene. In his paintings, he began to combine
everyday objects and possessions in a personal iconography of symbols, including the hearts and
tools for which he is known. Dine has worked in sculpture, installation, photography, drawing,
painting and printmaking, producing over three thousand works since the 1960’s, in addition to
publishing several books of illustrated poetry.
what i prefere in jim dines way of work is how he doesn't make the work look perfect (as in there are smudges and things going on in the background, i like how he manages to give the effect of the tool he is drawring yet have distinct shaddow, giving his images a more messy look, this i will try to portray in my own work, as i prefere working to a more messy look rather than a perfected piece.
