About the Artist

Jim Dine is a highly influential American artist whose expansive career has traversed Pop Art, Neo-Dada, and Expressionism. His diverse output encompasses painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and printmaking. Dine is renowned for his recurring motifs—such as hearts, tools, bathrobes, and palettes—which he transforms into deeply personal symbols. By repeatedly depicting these ordinary objects, he imbues them with autobiographical resonance and emotional weight, exploring themes of memory, domesticity, and the artistic process itself. Dine's work is characterized by its tactile quality, expressive mark-making, and a compelling blend of the mundane with the profound, demonstrating a lifelong dedication to exploring the human condition through form.
