Jim Dine

This volume is an illustrated monograph on the painter Jim Dine. It deals with all the artist's phases, including his latest work. Dine has an international reputation, and his paintings are in many major American and European museums and in many private collections. Restless, searching, and challenging, Dine expresses an extremely personal vision yet one that is meaningful to all twentieth-century appreciators of art. In his art, tools, vegetables, hearts, suits, robes, trees, palettes, color charts, and rooms tumble across the canvas. Dine is able to transform the familiar into abstraction and the abstract into the real. A comprehensive list of the artist's exhibitions, here and abroad, and a complete bibliography add to the documentary value of the book.
