Jim Dine is one of the genre-spanning artists. In addition to painting , graphics and sculpture , he also devoted himself to poetry from the 1960s and photography from the 1990s , he designed stage sets and theater costumes. The artist is generally assigned to the pop scene because in the late 1950s he and Claes Oldenburg and others established a new perspective that tore everyday objects out of their context and put them in their own aura . Shortly afterwards, he turned away from the cool, distant objectivity of Pop Art and found a metaphorical level and a more emotional warmth in his art, which followed the abstract expressionists' approach.
Dine worked in artistic phases that were defined by certain, recurring subjects. From the mid-1960s, his main theme was the bathrobe; in him he saw himself, here he abstracted the different facets of his own personality. In the 1980s, Dine turned to classical figurative art . After extensive studies of classical sculpture , he created a number of figurative sculptures, where he was inspired by the ancient " Venus de Milo ". Another well-known cycle was his hearts, which include both self-reflection and fundamental questions about being human.
Jim Dine's critical questioning of being human can be explained by his proximity to the discoveries and methods of psychoanalysis; he describes himself as a follower of the teachings of CG Jung . His books have been published by Steidl Verlag since 2002 .
