A mixed media print by American artist Jim Dine, bringing together recurring motifs that reflect his longstanding interest in popular culture, memory and personal symbolism. Featuring the 1940s film character The Wolf Man, a broken red heart and a small yellow depiction of King Kong, the composition combines familiar imagery with autobiographical references characteristic of Dine's work.
Jim Dine (b. 1935) is one of the leading figures of post-war American art. Working across painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and photography, he first came to prominence in New York during the late 1950s through the Happenings movement. Although often associated with Pop Art and Neo-Dada, his work is distinguished by its highly personal use of recurring motifs, transforming everyday objects and cultural references into vehicles for memory and identity.
Dine's work is represented in the collections of major institutions including The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, the Centre Pompidou, Paris, and Tate.
