Davidson College in Davidson, NC, Features Works by Jim Dine
The Van Every/Smith Galleries at Davidson College in Davidson, NC, will present the exhibition, Jim Dine Prints: 1985 - 2002, on view through Oct. 6, 2004.
The exhibition presents highlights from the last several years of Dine's graphic oeuvre. This survey of recent prints by one of America's greatest artists features 46 lithographs, intaglios, and woodcuts.
Dine's virtuosity, penchant for innovation,
and ability to tap into the vagaries of the human psyche have
resulted in countless works of indisputable power and beauty.
During the last 15 years Dine's imagery has evolved in extraordinary
ways. New iconic elements - the owl, raven, ape, cat, and Pinocchio
- supplement his signature repertory of hearts, hands, skulls,
tools, and robes.
Dine continually turns to familiar images such as the Venus de
Milo, trees, and flowers to evoke a variety of emotional responses.
Each one of these old and new motifs resonates with the artist's
life experiences to such a degree that he has openly declared
them self-portraits. Now into the 21st century, Dine continues
to dazzle with iconic and technical innovations that build on
and enhance his earlier efforts.
This exhibition was organized by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in collaboration with Pace Prints and Jim Dine.
