Jim Dine is one of the country’s best-known artists. He is regarded as one of the most consistently inventive artists to have emerged in the second half of the 20th century. A painter, sculptor and graphic artist, Dine’s art often incorporates images of everyday life, such as tools, rope, shoes, neckties and other articles of clothing.
