Jim Dine (1935 –)
Jim Dine var en amerikansk kunstner kendt for at kombinere maleri og hverdagsgenstande i sine værker. Han var pioner indenfor Pop Art og Happenings, og hans unikke stil udforsker personlige temaer og minder gennem skulpturer, tegninger og tryk.
Between 1961 and 1964 Dine made a series of works that used the shape of the artist’s palette both as a backdrop for other imagery and as a surrogate self-portrait. Here he playfully subverts the notion of the palette as the site where a painter mixes colors, rendering it not in bright hues—with the exception of a single, marginal flash of red—but largely in black, white and gray. To the thin, rather brittle surface of a sheet of tracing paper, Dine adhered torn and abraded scraps of wove paper. Their presence suggests the accrual of dried, unused pigment on the palette while simultaneously providing surfaces implicitly awaiting paint.
