The multi-faceted Jim Dine is closely associated with the development of Pop art in the early 1960s. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1935, he obtained a B.F.A. from Ohio University in 1957. Known for quirky three dimensional art and affixing objects, such as tools, rope, shoes, neckties, articles of clothing, and even a bathroom sink, to his canvases. Dine is best known for his sketchy drawings and prints. A popular guest lecturer at Yale and Cornell, Dine was given solo shows in London museums. Both the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York and the Museum of Modern Art, New York have presented retrospectives of his works.
