Jim Dine is a major contemporary American artist known for painting, sculpture and prints. Born June 16, 1935, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dine studied at night at the Cincinnati Art Academy during his senior year of high school and then attended the University of Cincinnati, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Ohio University, Athens, from which he received his B.F.A. in 1957. He moved to New York in 1959 and soon became a pioneer creator of Happenings with Allan Kaprow and Robert Whitman. He exhibited at the Judson Gallery, New York, in 1958 and 1959, and his first solo show took place at the Reuben Gallery, New York in 1960. A major retrospective of the artist’s work was organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1970, and in 1978 New York’s Museum of Modern Art presented a retrospective of his etchings. Robes and hearts are the most important and popular iconographic elements in Dine's oeuvre. The artist lives and works in New York and Putney, Vermont and his works are in the collections of major museums worldwide.
