Description |
Jim Dine (Cincinnati 1935; lives and works in New York, Paris, and Walla Walla, Washington) Untitled (Dutch Hearts), 1970 Color lithograph and collage on paper from a series of six prints, 25/85 16 ½ x 20 inches Knoxville Museum of Art, 2015 gift of Helen and Russell Novak in honor of their children, Janet Novak Goldberg of blessed memory and James Alan Novak Multi-media artist Jim Dine explores the power of simple images to be at once familiar, nostalgic, and symbolic. Although his preferred motifs-tools, bathrobes, or hearts-stem from childhood experiences or dreams, they appear as boldly simplified universal "surrogates for human activity." Dine is a skilled and innovative printmaker who occasionally employs nontraditional tools such as electric grinders and chainsaws in the making of his woodblock prints. For this lithograph edition, he cut and attached paper hearts as collage elements masked by areas of subtle color applied in spray can patterns. |
