Jim Dine

Pop Artist Jim Dine was born on June 16, 1935 in Cincinnati, Ohio.  He gained national recognition in 1962 when his work was included in the ground breaking exhibition "New Painting of Common Objects" along with Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and Edward Ruscha.  This exhibition was historic as it was the first "Pop Art" show in America.  These painters started a movement, in a time of social unrest, which shocked the Art World and America and changed Modern Art forever.





Dine continues to sculpt, draw and paint, exhibiting worldwide!  His original work as well as his prints are seen in apartments, condos and homes everywhere adding color, energy and excitement to the spaces.
